How is this computed?

All-codes score: median of price ratios across every available billing code. Based on 378 billing codes published by this hospital. A broader all-codes view (every commercial billing code this hospital publishes, 378 codes) puts the score at 1.03x.

BUTLER HOSPITAL prices near the regional median (1.01x overall). 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.

51% of codes priced above the regional median Reliability C (Volatile)

why?

Wide price spread (IQR ratio 9.6x) with 18% of codes above 3x the regional median
