Hospital price transparency, put to work

Your hospital publishes what it charges. Most bills don’t match.

Upload an itemized bill. We read every line, compare each charge against the hospital’s own legally published price file and Medicare rates, and show you what is worth asking about — with the page and row it came from.

Audit my billSee a finished report

Every bill up to 500 pages gets a free audit — you see what we would question and what it adds up to before deciding anything. If we find nothing worth disputing, there is nothing to pay for.

One finding, in full

Not a score. Not an estimate. A specific charge, and the published figure it should be measured against.

2.7×the Medicare rate for this facility. No amount is claimed here — this is context for a conversation about the charge, not money you are owed.

Compared againstMedicare OPPS Addendum B 2026, adjusted for CCN 050108published Jan 1, 2026

A CT of the abdomen and pelvis with contrast is listed twice on this bill — once on page 6 and once on page 9. Both entries carry the same code, the same service date of June 14, and the same charge of $3,400.00. Your records may show two scans were performed that day, in which case both are correct. If only one was performed, the second entry is worth asking Cedar Hollow's billing department about. For context, Medicare's 2026 outpatient rate for this scan at this facility is $1,247.00.

Clear reading

Every finding carries the page and row it came from, the published figure it was compared against, and how confident we are that we read the row correctly. See the whole report.

Why nobody does this by hand

A hospital stay is not one bill. It is thousands of rows across several of them.

6,933rows on one real stay
A 200-page statement, read end to end. Checking that by eye is not a weekend job — it is not realistically possible.
5separate bills, often
Facility, surgeon, anaesthesia, radiology, ambulance. A charge repeated across two of them is invisible unless they are read together.
500pages read, free
The whole batch becomes one set of line items, so a duplicate is found across documents and not only within one of them.

Where the numbers come from

Their own file first. Medicare only after.

We work down this list for every charge and stop at the first figure that exists. Whichever one we used is named on the finding — and when a hospital has published nothing we can find, the finding says so rather than quietly leaving the comparison out.

  1. Their published gross charge

    Did they bill their own posted price? A deviation here is the cleanest question you can ask.

  2. Their published cash price

    What they say an uninsured patient pays. The strongest number to quote on a phone call.

  3. What they actually collect

    The median, 10th and 90th percentile of allowed amounts, where the hospital publishes them.

  4. Medicare’s rate for that facility

    Adjusted for the hospital’s own wage index. Context and leverage — never a figure we claim you are owed.

Straight answers

What we will not tell you

The limits matter as much as the claims. These are the four we are asked about most, answered before you have to ask.

That your bill will be reduced
We cannot promise that, and anyone who does is guessing. What comes off depends on your provider. What we give you is a set of specific, sourced questions and the evidence to ask them with.
That a charge is fraud
A finding is a charge worth asking about, never an accusation. Billing is complicated and a difference can have an ordinary explanation — the point is that you get to ask about it.
That we are certain
Rows we struggled to read look materially different in your report from rows we read cleanly, and we say which is which. We would rather show you doubt than hide it.
That we need your identity
We never ask for a social security number, a date of birth or an insurance ID, and the redaction step removes them from your bill on your own device before anything is uploaded.
