Area covered: hospitals in Allegheny, Westmoreland, Butler, Washington and Beaver counties, Pennsylvania. Hospitals outside these places are not in this table, even if they serve the area.

Each figure is the median of that hospital's published rates for the procedure's code family under that plan type. "Insured median" is the median of the hospital's commercial-plan rates (PPO, HMO, EPO, POS, ACA marketplace and plans not labelled by type); the headline figure is the median of that column. Hospitals label plan types differently, so compare the Insured median column across hospitals rather than a single plan-type column. "×Medicare" compares to the CMS national outpatient rate. Blank cells mean the hospital's file discloses no dollar rate for that plan type.
