How this service works
Statistics of hospital self-pay (cash) prices for one service in a state or nationwide: number of hospitals, lowest, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile and highest posted price, plus the national median. The service is a CPT or HCPCS code or plain words such as brain MRI. Built from prices hospitals post under the federal price transparency rule, read in October 2026. Facility portion only.
Output
A JSON object containing the number of distinct hospital prices analyzed, statistical price distribution (low, P25, median, P75, high in USD), the resolved CPT/HCPCS code and service name, national benchmark statistics, hospital coverage counts for the requested scope, the data collection date, and a disclaimer about facility-only pricing.
Example use cases
Uninsured patient budget planning
“I need surgery and don't have insurance — what are the hospital self-pay prices for CPT code 27447 (total knee replacement) in Colorado? Give me the range from lowest to highest and tell me where the median falls nationally.”
Healthcare cost comparison tool
“I'm building a cost transparency tool — can you pull the cash price statistics for a brain MRI without contrast in California and tell me how the state median compares to the national median?”
Employer benefits benchmarking
“We're reviewing our employee health plan. What do hospitals nationwide typically charge self-pay patients for an outpatient colonoscopy? I want the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile prices.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.findmydirectdoctor.com/v1/hospital-prices/stats?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need statistical price distribution (not a single price quote) for a specific medical service across all hospitals in a state or nationally. Ideal for benchmarking a price quote, building cost transparency tools, or helping uninsured patients understand typical cash prices before seeking care. Prefer this over the nearby-hospitals endpoint when geographic proximity is not needed and you want aggregate statistics rather than individual facility prices.
Side effects
- Ambiguous plain-word service name resolves to wrong code — response includes close alternatives for review
- Fewer than 5 hospital prices in a state causes median to return null
- Fewer than 10 prices causes P25/P75 to return null
- Invalid state code returns 400 error
- Both state and national=true provided simultaneously returns validation error
- Service or code not in supported 28-service catalog returns no-match error
- CPT/HCPCS code pattern mismatch (not 5 alphanumeric chars) returns schema validation error
