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

A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $665, including Atlantic General Hospital at $987, 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 $340 versus $336 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.

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.
