Hospital prices, out in the open.

Priced procedures near Athens

403 procedures with a published price at one of the 10 hospitals within 35 miles of Athens. Each row says how many of them report a price and what the middle one charges — follow it through to compare them hospital by hospital.

Every figure is a hospital’s own published charge, and covers the hospital only. The surgeon, anaesthetist and radiologist bill separately and appear in no hospital price file, so treat a number here as part of a total rather than the total. “Typically” is the middle hospital of those reporting, not an average and not a quote.
