vs. the regional median (the other ~300 NY/NJ/CT hospitals publishing the same code). How is this computed?
High-confidence score: 10% trimmed mean across 35 of 57 target procedures, commercial payers, 5x outlier cap. Based on 35 of 57 high-confidence target procedures. A broader all-codes view (every commercial billing code this hospital publishes, 2,046 codes) puts the score at 0.27x.
Maimonides Medical Center bills below peers — about 0.15x the regional median. Within departments, Surgery is comparatively affordable (0.12x). 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 4.5x) 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.
