ELLIS HOSPITAL bills below peers — about 0.28x the regional median. Within departments, Inpatient is the most expensive department (1.27x); Surgery is comparatively affordable (0.14x). 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.
