A few comments from a health economist...<p>- Doing this is unlikely to save you that much money if you are insured. Your insurer isn't going to say "hey you chose the cheaper hospital - here's a partial refund!" (But this policy _could_ enable interesting experiments like that! I would love to see them.) It could potentially reduce the amount you owe as coinsurance for a given procedure, depending on the details of your plan.<p>- If you are uninsured and potentially face the full cost of these services, I would pay close attention to this information where it is available.<p>- If you find a list by CPT code, you would need to figure out which CPT codes are going to apply for your visit, which is non-trivial for complicated (expensive) procedures. Generally more than one will be involved. Some hospitals list services by DRG, which may be a little easier to interpret (but comparisons across hospitals which list by DRG and those which list by CPT are going to be a big pain).<p>- MANY hospitals have not even bothered to post this information because the fines are trivial. They may be increased, which would be great.<p>With all that said, this is a very worthwhile initiative. There are potential downsides (including the potential for prices in some markets to increase), but this is the right idea and a good start.
