Called “Your Hospital Stay”, it allows you to compare hospitals online. Key in your state and city and get comparisons of hospitals in your area.
I should add that I have tried a similar site for the state of Minnesota -- and one very big tip I can pass along is to compare the local hospital to an outlying county. I found that prices for an average, common surgical procedure could be $2,000 less by going outside Hennepin County to neighboring Scott County -- to the town of Shakopee, for example.

AND the price check site for Minnesota Hospitals is at www. MNhospitalPriceCheck.org -- site is managed by the Minnesota Hospital Assn.
