Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (3) report prices above $368, including Memorial Medical Center at $569, 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 $137 versus $176 inpatient (about 1.3× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

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.
