MyCareCost

Compare and Negotiate Healthcare Pricing

About Us

MyCareCost exists so anyone can see what hospitals actually charge—not estimates from a phone tree, but prices pulled from the machine-readable files hospitals are required to publish under federal transparency rules.

Our mission

Healthcare pricing is confusing by design. We believe you should be able to compare real, facility-specific prices the same way you compare anything else—before you commit. We collect, normalize, and surface that data so you can make informed decisions with your doctor and your budget.

What we do

You can search by procedure name or billing code, set your location, and compare hospitals side by side. We also publish procedure and location landing pages where we have enough data to be useful—so you can explore typical price ranges and drill into cities and states.

Data & privacy

We do not store personal health information. Prices come from public hospital files; listings show freshness and source context where available. For more detail on how we score files and handle updates, see our methodology and FAQ.

Who we are

MyCareCost is built by a small team focused on consumer-friendly healthcare price tools. We are independent—we are not a hospital or insurer—and we are motivated by the idea that transparency only helps when real people can actually use it.

We publish educational guides for uninsured patients, insured patients, Medicare users, patient advocates, and anyone trying to make sense of hospital pricing before care.
