Thanks for the link--haven't seen this. I think they use a different data set for the procedure prices, but I like how they also compare it to a quality ranking. I will look more into how US News quantified hospital scores.

What I think matters most for healthcare is not just price, but quality/cost. Quality is difficult to measure, but should factor in recovery speed, number of repeat-procedures, service, etc.

Thanks!

I think, when are showing some numbers, it looks much more perceivable when you have something to compare to, in our case, the top hospitals ranking from the US News.

Some more work will mostly likely be done soon to enrich the data we are showing.

Interesting. The prices listed by this tool are very different from the prices listed in the tool in this Show HN post. I wonder how their data differ?

Hi!

I went back and checked the data. If you search for chest pain, and look at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center around Santa Monica,

we are showing this piece of information.

313 - CHEST PAIN,50625,CEDARS-SINAI MEDICAL CENTER,8700 BEVERLY BLVD,LOS ANGELES,CA,90048,CA - Los Angeles,229,43714.62445,5094.71179

In the PriceMaps we made, we are showing the last value, which is the 'Average Total Payments' for the operation.

Not exactly sure if the site mentioned in the HN is using the same data.
