Maryland operates the nation's only all-payer hospital rate-setting system through the Health Services Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) - all payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and self-pay, pay the same regulated rates at each facility. This makes Maryland's cash prices more meaningful than in other states, because the discounting common elsewhere is largely prohibited. Johns Hopkins Medicine and University of Maryland Medical System anchor the academic tier.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

Setting drives much of the spread here: whether the hospital bills the stay as outpatient or inpatient changes the facility fee, which is why two similar hospitals can bill very differently for the same procedure.

None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.

In Maryland, the median cash (self-pay) price is $6,204 versus a median negotiated rate of $7,562 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a pacemaker surgery in Maryland?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price.
