Two ways to compare
Best Outcomes: Which hospitals have the lowest complication/death rates for each procedure? Based on CMS Complications and Deaths data.
Lowest Cost: Which hospitals charge the least (actual Medicare payment) for each procedure? Based on CMS Medicare Inpatient data. The "actual paid" amount is what you should aim for when negotiating.
