Price flags come from our manual audit of each hospital’s price file (Oct 30, 2026). “Low price checked in file” = we opened the file and the row is a real facility cash price. “May be a partial/component line” = the row looks like a component, per-unit, or bundled line, so the real price for this test may differ. Hover a flag for the reason. Always confirm with the hospital.
