Billing codes
Compare prices by billing code
A CPT or HCPCS code is the standard number hospitals use to name a service — like 70551 for an MRI of the brain. Enter a code to see what hospitals publish for that exact service, side by side.
Based on hospital-published prices verified from each hospital’s own file. Coverage expands as data is verified.

How to compare hospitals by code
- 1. Find the code for your service (your doctor, hospital estimate, or a past bill lists it).
- 2. Open its page to see every hospital that publishes a price for it.
- 3. Compare the cash price, list price, and negotiated ranges side by side.
What this is — and isn’t
- Is: real prices each hospital publishes for a coded service.
- Isn’t: a final bill, an estimate of what you’ll owe, or medical advice. Your actual cost depends on your plan, setting, and care.

How to compare by CPT code
- 1. Find your service’s code on a doctor’s order, a hospital estimate, or a past bill.
- 2. Search it above and open its page to see every hospital that publishes a price for it.
- 3. Compare the cash, list, and insurance-negotiated prices side by side — then confirm with the hospital and your insurer. A blank price means the hospital didn’t publish a usable price, not that it’s $0.
