What one hospital charges
Every price NYU Langone Tisch publishes, plotted as the lowest against the highest rate it has negotiated for the same procedure.
Each point is one procedure, medication or treatment, placed by the minimum and maximum charge the hospital lists for it across insurance products. If a hospital charged everyone the same, every point would sit on the red diagonal. How far a point lies above that line is how much the price of that one thing depends on who is paying for it.
Filter by insurer, search the descriptions, or drag a box across the scatter — the table below follows. It is worth looking for the widest gaps: those are the ones where the same care, at the same hospital, is billed at wildly different rates.
The other hospitals
This is one of ten hospitals with the same dashboard on payless.health — Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, Houston Methodist, Lehigh Valley, Indiana University and others, plus a side-by-side comparison of two. Only NYU Langone is reproduced here; the rest live in onefact/payless.health/docs/hospital, one Markdown page and one Mosaic spec apiece.
Behind them is a collection of 4,000+ hospital price sheets, published under the US price transparency rules. The project is run by the One Fact Foundation, a 501(c)(3) building open source AI to reduce the price of health care.
