List prices are entirely fictional. Nobody pays them. Their sole purpose is price anchoring for negotiations with insurers. Hospitals know they have to give 80-90% discounts to certain payers so they set them high.

There is zero value in showing them. All they do is demonstrate a dumb pricing game that could easily be ended if the GOP didn’t conflate “single-payer” with “single-provider” and scream socialism.

Moreover 80%+ of hospitals no longer charge on a fee-for-service basis but through DRG (diagnosis related groups) as part of a value based care model. So these itemized list prices are doubly moot.
