You can look things up by procedure and condition, I think they'll be adding more to the site as time goes on. Game changer for medical insurance and the industry if consumers know how much an operations should really cost them. http://www.guroo.com/#!a-to-z-list

Wow, awesome find. Thanks for sharing. Was shocked at some of those figures. In a good way 
...I would think living in Florida would make it cost more money, not less than national average. I looked up back pain - epidural steroid injection. National average was $2,828.00, Florida was $1,987.00.

I believe the figures on the site are actually low. I wonder if they calculated ALL the associated expenses, or just the surgeon, at least in the case of knee replacements. They cost a lot more here than indicated (at least the amounts billed to insurance are a lot more than indicated). It is almost impossible to get a straight answer when inquiring about what a medical procedure will cost.
