Guided tour
How MyCareCost works
New to hospital pricing? Perfect. Tap through these five steps to learn what this site does, what the numbers mean, and how to use them.
The #1 reason in the US for bankruptcy is healthcare bills
You don’t go to your favorite shopping store or site and buy the most expensive version automatically — you research, you compare, YOU decide.
You obviously don’t want to go into the most debt possible either, and the truth is you don’t need to. You can compare prices, make informed decisions, and be aware of the bills coming to you.
A federal rule in 2021 requires hospitals to publish their prices online. The problem? Those files are huge, messy, and nearly impossible for most of us to read.
MyCareCost does the hard part: we collect those published prices, clean them up, and let you compare hospitals side by side — so you can make informed decisions before you schedule care.
