New tool compares hospital charges with insurer payments

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

A new online tool lets users compare what 482 US hospitals list as their prices against what insurers actually pay, using data drawn from the hospitals' own mandated price transparency files. Discussion is centered on how widely list prices and negotiated rates diverge, and whether transparency rules are making hospital billing any clearer for patients.

Why now: People are discussing how US hospital price transparency data reveals large gaps between sticker prices and what insurers actually pay.
