1 hospitals · 2 published rates Cheapest first

Sorted cheapest first. A published figure that behaves like a placeholder rather than a real price — one cent, or a figure orders of magnitude below what other hospitals publish for the same billing code — never leads this order. It stays listed, after every other figure, ordered by its own amount among the others like it.

Everything published Only figures that look like prices

Nothing was excluded: none of the figures published here behave like a placeholder rather than a price.
