How this service works
US hospital self-pay (cash) prices posted under the federal price transparency rule. Search 28 common services (imaging, blood tests, emergency room visit levels, EKG, colonoscopy) by CPT or HCPCS billing code or plain words, near a ZIP code, city and state, or latitude/longitude. Returns each hospital's posted cash price, distance, price file date, data flag and financial assistance (charity care) link, plus the area median. Facility portion only; final bills can differ.
Output
A JSON object containing: a list of matching hospitals (name, city, state, CCN, cash price in USD, distance in miles, price file date, financial assistance URL, and any data quality flags); area price statistics (median, 25th/75th percentile, low, high, n hospitals used); state and national medians; the resolved CPT/HCPCS code and plain name; hospital coverage counts by service category; and pagination cursor for the next page.
Example use cases
Uninsured patient comparing MRI costs
“I don't have insurance and need an MRI of my brain without contrast — can you find the hospitals within 30 miles of ZIP 90210 with the lowest self-pay cash prices and show me their financial assistance pages?”
ER visit cost comparison by city
“What do hospitals in Austin, TX charge for a Level 3 emergency room visit if you pay cash? Sort by price and show me the area median so I know if a price is reasonable.”
Employer shopping lab test costs for staff
“We're helping employees find affordable blood work — can you search hospital cash prices for a basic metabolic panel near ZIP 30301 in Atlanta and return the 25 closest hospitals sorted by distance?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.findmydirectdoctor.com/v1/hospital-prices/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need federally mandated hospital self-pay (cash) price data for common services in the US, especially for comparing costs across nearby hospitals for a specific CPT/HCPCS code or plain-language service. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, comparable price data with distance, area medians, and financial assistance links. Not suitable for insured/negotiated rate lookups, physician/clinic pricing, pharmacy costs, or services outside the 28 supported codes.
Side effects
- No location provided (zip, lat/lng, or city+state required) — returns validation error
- Unsupported CPT/HCPCS code or unresolvable plain-language service name — returns error or empty results
- Fewer than 5 hospitals with prices in area — area median and percentile fields return null
- Location returns zero hospitals with posted prices in radius — empty results array
- Invalid ZIP code format or out-of-range lat/lng — returns schema validation error
- Cursor from a different parameter set used for pagination — may return unexpected results
