This is a great start, however a key thing that is missing (at no fault of the authors) is patient outcomes. Just because a service is cheaper does not mean you should shop by the lowest bidder. BetterDoctor's Pricemaps also include US News Rank and score which gives you a place to start: http://health.usnews.com/health-news/best-hospitals/articles/2013/07/16/how-we-ranked-the-best-hospitals-2013-14-an-faq http://health.usnews.com/health-news/best-hospitals/articles... Please please please do not shop strictly by the lowest price when it comes to your family's health. Research both the hospital and the doctor who will be doing the procedure when it comes to complex procedures.
