Project compares 482 hospitals' prices against insurer payments

Original: Show HN: What 482 hospitals charge vs. what insurers pay, from their own files

A new tool called Billmender lets people compare what 482 US hospitals charge against what insurers actually pay, using the hospitals' own published price transparency files. The data highlights how wide the gap between sticker prices and negotiated rates can be. Readers are discussing the usefulness of the transparency rules and why such comparisons still require building a separate tool.

Why now: It surfaces stark discrepancies in US healthcare pricing that hospitals are now required to disclose, a topic of ongoing public interest.
