The RAND Hospital Price Transparency Studies are comprehensive reports that are part of an ongoing employer-led initiative to measure and report publicly the prices paid for hospital care at the hospital and service-line level. RAND Reports provide a comparison of what the employer pays for hospital services compared to the price Medicare pays that same hospital and provider for the exact same services.  Employers can use the information in this report—together with knowledge of their own employee populations—to decide if the prices they and their employees are paying align with value.
