STATEHOUSE (June 15, 2026) – Indiana recently expanded a state website to help Hoosiers compare healthcare prices and quality, according to Johnson County lawmakers.
The website, which was established under a 2020 law passed by the General Assembly, now includes additional resources to help Hoosiers save on medical care. The updated tool features prescription resources, hospital cash prices and nearly 2 billion healthcare claims records from insurers and other sources to make it easier for Hoosiers to know what they may pay for medical services – whether through insurance or cash – and compare costs.
State Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) said the goals of the database are to better inform Hoosiers on healthcare costs, identify state healthcare needs, support policy and improve the quality and affordability of healthcare in the state.
"Many are struggling to access affordable healthcare, and this tool can help every Hoosier choose the best services for the most reasonable price," said Mayfield, who supported the 2020 law. "While we find ways to address the rise in healthcare costs, Hoosiers can use these resources to be better-equipped consumers."
State Rep. Michelle Davis (R-Whiteland) said the database includes a list of healthcare providers that perform services within certain distances from a zip code, the average out-of-pocket costs for a service and the quality rating for that facility.
"Nobody should be blindsided by a medical bill, especially when Hoosiers are already doing their best to stretch their dollars," Davis said. "Expanding this database and making it more user-friendly helps Hoosiers save on their healthcare costs."
State Rep. Robb Greene (R-Shelbyville) said the website, under the name Indiana Health Prices, also now includes a chatbot that provides guided, easy-to-follow responses, pulls relevant information from other state databases and is available 24/7. The updated prescription resources section has links to external programs like Trump RX.
"Indiana is leading the nation on healthcare transparency, and that happens when we put patients first," Greene said. "Our state invested in making this resource as comprehensive as possible, and we are moving in the right direction on lowering healthcare costs."
State Rep. Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville) said healthcare providers and laboratories can also now voluntarily submit their pricing and service information to give patients access to even more data so they can make informed decisions.
"When patients can compare costs and quality, competition becomes stronger and prices get lower," Haggard said. "Aside from what this does to improve the healthcare market, this website gives patients what they need to be savvy decision-makers in their own medical decisions."
In recent years, the legislature has advanced several new laws aimed at reducing healthcare costs for Hoosiers, including two priority efforts in 2025 that improve billing transparency and crack down on high costs at large nonprofit hospitals.
