Win-win healthcare
Patients save money. Doctors who deliver quality at fair prices attract more business. The market works when prices are visible.
Three steps
Search. Compare. Save.
Search
Enter any medical procedure and your location. Our engine scans published pricing data from thousands of hospitals and clinics across the US.
Compare
See every provider near you ranked by price and quality. Color-coded results make the best deals obvious. Filter by distance, rating, or facility type.
Save
Choose the provider that fits your budget and quality standards. Book directly — no middleman. The same procedure at different places can differ by thousands.
What does it cost?
It's free. Free for patients, free for healthcare providers listing their prices. We believe price transparency is a public good — it shouldn't have a price tag.
Where does the data come from?
Since January 2021, the Hospital Price Transparency Rule requires every US hospital to publish machine-readable files containing their negotiated rates. We aggregate this federally mandated data, combine it with provider-submitted pricing, and make it searchable.
We also aggregate quality data — reviews from across the web, CMS quality ratings, and patient satisfaction scores — so you can find the best value, not just the lowest price.
Quality first. Price right after.
We encourage every provider to adopt their page on PricePain and share pictures, certifications, and practice details. We reward providers who go the extra mile with badges and higher visibility. The goal isn't just cheap healthcare — it's great healthcare at a fair price.
