Similarly, a relative price of 0.84 means that a hospital’s prices are 16 percent below average.

It is recalculated annually based on data collected from commercial payers and includes information on private commercial insurance and commercially managed public insurance products such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Managed Organizations/Accountable Care Partnership Plans.
