Privacy Policy

Overview

ProcedurePricer ("we," "us," or "our") operates procedurepricer.com (the "Site"), a free tool that helps people compare hospital procedure prices sourced from federally mandated hospital price transparency files. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Site and how it is used.

Information We Collect

You do not need to create an account to use ProcedurePricer. We collect limited information in the following ways:

• Search inputs. When you search for a procedure and ZIP code, we use that ZIP code to estimate distance to nearby hospitals. It is stored locally in your browser (not on our servers) so your last search can be remembered.
• Usage data. Like most websites, we automatically collect standard analytics data such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and to serve relevant ads.

We do not collect names, medical records, insurance information, or any protected health information. The pricing data displayed on the Site describes hospital charges, not information about any individual patient.

Advertising

We display ads served through Google AdSense and may work with other advertising networks. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, including to:

• Show relevant procedure prices near a searched ZIP code
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
• Serve and measure the performance of advertising
• Maintain the security and reliability of the Site

Third-Party Links

The Site links to third-party resources such as Google Maps and hospital websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies separately.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
