Help improve US healthcare price transparency
Submit a US healthcare price you were quoted or billed
TreatCompare US aggregates published cash-price pages, CMS hospital machine-readable files (MRFs), and consumer-submitted prices to map what US healthcare actually costs. Patient-reported quotes and EOB allowed amounts are some of the most useful data we receive — they show what a real person was charged or quoted for a real procedure code at a real facility on a real date.
Before you send anything
- Do not send protected health information (PHI). Redact patient name, date of birth, member ID, account number, and clinical detail before sharing a bill or EOB image.
- We publish in aggregated, de-identified form only. Submissions help the dataset — not a personal billing dispute.
- This page is not insurance advice, legal advice, billing advice, or medical advice.
What we are looking for
Most useful submissions
- Cash / self-pay quote from a hospital, imaging centre or surgery centre
- EOB allowed amount for a specific CPT code, payer and plan
- Direct link to a CMS hospital MRF file
- Published chargemaster or self-pay price page URL
- Provider-direct cash-price quote (verbal or written)
- Out-of-pocket total a patient actually paid, by CPT code
What to include with the price
- State and facility name (or city if facility is unnamed)
- Facility type — hospital outpatient vs imaging centre vs surgery centre
- CPT or HCPCS code if it appears anywhere on the document
- Whether facility fee, professional interpretation and contrast are included
- Date the price was quoted or billed
- Source URL, PDF, or photo of the quote (PHI redacted)

How submitted prices are used
- Verified submissions are added to the TreatCompare US procedure price record dataset and surface as a price record on the relevant procedure page (e.g. MRI cost USA, colonoscopy cost USA).
- Each record is labelled by source type — cash quote, MRF rate, EOB allowed amount, chargemaster, or consumer-submitted — so readers can see where each number comes from.
- Submissions help the dataset reflect what US healthcare actually costs — not just what is published. They are particularly valuable when a hospital’s MRF is missing or unreadable.
- We do not use submissions to resolve individual billing disputes. For corrections to an existing TreatCompare listing, use report an error.

How TreatCompare US handles submitted prices
Main sources
- CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule (45 CFR § 180)
- CMS hospital MRF machine-readable files
- Published independent imaging centre self-pay price pages
- TreatCompare US consumer-submitted price records
Methodology: Submitted prices are reviewed against the source document (URL, PDF, or redacted image) before publication. Records are labelled by source type — cash quote, MRF rate, EOB allowed amount, chargemaster, or consumer-submitted — and are aggregated alongside published hospital and imaging-centre prices. We do not publish identifying patient information.
