Vox: Prices at Zuckerberg Hospital’s Emergency Room are Higher Than Anywhere Else in San Francisco

HCCI’s claims data was recently used to support investigations by Sarah Kliff into emergency room pricing in San Francisco. From Vox:  

“Data from the non-profit Health Care Cost Institute shows that the average price at other San Francisco-area emergency rooms is $2,000 — less than half the city hospital’s price.

“A privately insured patient does not seem to be getting a very good deal at San Francisco General,” says Niall Brennan, the Health Care Cost Institute’s executive director.”
