Analysis 02 · Healthcare prices · 2024

For every dollar a hospital is paid, it billed $5.03.

A hospital bill starts from a list price almost nobody pays in full — insurers negotiate it down, Medicare sets its own rate. The person who pays closest to the list price is the one with no insurer to negotiate for them. That gap is where medical debt begins.

Project Crossfoot puts the public prices in one place: what every hospital billed Medicare and what it was paid, for every inpatient admission and outpatient service; what a doctor's visit costs in every state; and what 2,673 hospitals' own price-transparency files say they charge. Each file has been checked against itself. 342 of the 2,673 readable ones contradict themselves.

01 · The data

What is in this dataset

Every public price the US healthcare system publishes about itself, in one database: what every hospital billed Medicare and what it was paid, service by service; what clinicians charge in every state; what a 50-state sample of hospitals' own mandated price files list; and the county-level debt and health outcomes those prices sit beside. Every tile below is a door — click one for the rows behind the number.

02 · Findings

Hospital price files, checked against themselves

Federal rule 45 CFR 180 requires every hospital to publish its standard charges in a machine-readable file, and since 2024 to point to it from a cms-hpt.txt at its web root. Nobody checks whether the numbers inside agree with each other. 3,109 hospitals across every state were sampled and 2,673 of them read in full — every CPT, HCPCS and MS-DRG line — and compared on a fixed basket of 49 services. Each check is one way a file can disagree with itself: a cash price above the list price it discounts, a negotiated rate outside the minimum and maximum the same file states, a file older than the rule's annual refresh. No finding is a judgment call — every one is re-derivable from two figures in the same published file.

03 · The heat maps

Where the system runs hottest

Two maps, one question each. The first: for every dollar a state's hospitals are actually paid, how much did they bill — across every admission type, weighted by discharges. The second: what share of the state's adults carry a medical bill that went to collections. The maps are computed from different sources — Medicare's files and a panel of credit records — and where they run hot together, that is worth a long look.

04 · By state

One procedure, every state

A fixed basket of 49 services that mean the same thing everywhere — the visits, labs, scans, procedures and admissions most people will meet. For each: what hospitals billed Medicare on average, what was actually paid, and where the sample has it, the hospitals' own listed and cash prices. Every other code is in the dictionary, with a verdict on whether it is a code at all.

05 · Urgent care

What a visit costs

There is no public price list for urgent care. The closest thing is the set of visit codes an urgent care or emergency department bills — the same codes, whoever the payer is — and the one public, national price for them: what clinicians billed Medicare and what Medicare allowed.

Medicare's allowed amount is the lowest price in the market; commercial insurers pay more and the uninsured are billed the full charge. Read the "billed" column as the starting point of an uninsured bill, not as a typical one.

587 health systems (AHRQ Compendium) with members in the Medicare files, ranked by one fraction — everything their hospitals billed over everything they were paid, across every admission typeⓘ. Systems with 5,000+ discharges.

the files read, as fetched — not our copy of them

The sampled hospital price files — 3,109 of them, collected in waves that now include county and municipal public hospitals — are each linked from the hospital's own page and from every code page that cites them.

Codes

Any billing code, by state

Every CPT, HCPCS and MS-DRG the sources carry — first whether it is a code at all, then what Medicare and the sampled hospitals charge for it.

Debt

Prices beside medical debt, county by county

Share of adults with medical debt in collections, against the local charge-to-payment ratio, insurance, income, race and health outcomes.

Analysis

What predicts debt and early death

Gradient-boosted models over every county, with cross-validated fit, what each relied on, and how the prediction moves — every figure documented in place.

Pipeline

Where each price came from

Three CMS files, County Health Rankings, Urban Institute's Debt in America, and a crawler for hospital price files — standard library Python, every byte hashed.
