Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $10,904, including BON SECOURS ST MARYS HOSPITAL OF RICHMOND LLC at $11,830, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $2,584 versus $1,271 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
