What hospitals charge for shoppable care across Utah — drawn from 18 hospitals' machine-readable files. Figures are medians with robust 10th–90th-percentile ranges across hospitals in the state.

The same procedure, wildly different prices

Even within Utah, the negotiated price at a pricier hospital can be many times what a cheaper one charges — for the same service.

Cash can beat the list price

The “gross” charge is the hospital's list price; the cash price is what many will accept from a self-pay patient. For these procedures in Utah, the cash price is a fraction of the list price.
