New web site allows consumers to compare hospital care charge information
The Nebraska Hospital Association (NHA) and its member hospitals are voluntarily offering consumers information to help them make important decisions about health care. Reliable information allows consumers to make informed decisions about where they choose to seek care. It also helps policymakers, other health providers and the public measure the cost and quality of hospital care.

Kicking off during National Hospital Week May 11-17, NHA will launch a new Web site, known as Care Compare to allow users to easily access charge information for several types of inpatient hospitalizations at any Nebraska hospital. Consumers can select a hospital by county or city, then select the reason for hospitalization and can compare charges by severity level with those of other hospitals in the region; to other hospitals with similar patient volume; and to other hospitals across the state as a whole. In addition to charges, the number of discharges, average length of stay and the average age of patients are displayed. Click here to read the news release.
