See how much Long Island hospitals charge patients and insurers for key services
Hospitals now must post their prices for hundreds of services, under federal rules that took effect last year. In some cases, the rates differ by tens of thousands of dollars depending on the hospital and insurance plan. Hospitals must post prices for at least 300 services, and they must include 70 key services identified by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Here are three examples of the price variations.
