CarePrices

CarePrices.ai is a healthcare price comparison platform from Care Decisions Labs that helps Americans research costs before receiving care. It draws on hospital and insurer price transparency data, including more than 588 million price records from over 380,000 facilities, to make healthcare prices easier to find and understand. Users can search by procedure or ZIP code, compare nearby facilities, and review cash and insured rates. An AI assistant also supports searches in plain English.

The platform provides price ranges, median costs, price distributions, and state rankings to help users assess what may be a fair price and identify potential savings. Its cost guides cover procedures across imaging and radiology, heart and cardiac care, and gastroenterology. Examples include MRIs, CT scans, X-rays, PET scans, echocardiograms, colonoscopies, and cardiac procedures. CarePrices.ai also publishes articles explaining hospital price differences, how to read transparency files, cash-pay versus insurance costs, and the federal hospital price transparency rule. Its stated goal is to help people compare options and make more informed decisions about healthcare spending.
