vs. the regional median (the other ~300 NY/NJ/CT hospitals publishing the same code). How is this computed?
All-codes score: median of price ratios across every available billing code. Based on 2,098 billing codes published by this hospital. A broader all-codes view (every commercial billing code this hospital publishes, 2,082 codes) puts the score at 1.87x.
FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL bills above peers — about 1.31x the regional median. The wide price spread (C grade) means individual bills are hard to predict — a procedure priced near the median in one department may be 5x in another.
why?
Wide price spread (IQR ratio 5.9x) with 1% of codes above 3x the regional medianHow A/B/C is determined: A = narrow price spread (IQR < 2.0×) with <5% of codes priced more than 3× the regional median. B = moderate (IQR 2.0–3.0× OR 5–20% above 3×). C = wider than that.
