Then you have the problem of the wide variety of treatments which the LEHIGH VALLEY HOSPITAL - DICKSON CITY provides.
To provide some standard metric to compare hospital costs, CMS publishes the MSPB (or "Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary"). Even though you may not be on Medicare, this metric may still be useful.
