Headline figures

For the 353 packages where at least half of the tests could be priced in the United States, the same tests at typical US cash prices would cost 4.1× to 5.9× the Taiwan package price (the median of the ratios at the low and high ends of the US range).
64 of 353 public packages are listed by the hospital as one day with no overnight stay.
64 % of the 132 packages under US$500 list 40 or more tests (85 packages).

How the data was collected

Hospital pages were collected by a crawler that follows each site's robots.txt. Text was extracted from the pages and PDFs, and each package's listed tests were matched to a catalogue of 173 tests. The collection holds 403 itemised packages at 48 hospitals in 13 cities, and 700 add-on prices. Prices are as the hospital published them, in NT$; the hospital's own page is linked from every package page, and the date the price was checked is kept with it. Civil-servant programs and packages priced only on request are left out of the public figures, which cover the 353 packages open to anyone. The US benchmarks are cash or direct-to-consumer list prices from the sources named in the tests file (79 tests have one); a price from a single reseller or an extrapolation is not used. US$ figures are converted at 32.1 TWD and rounded to whole dollars. The data is not a measure of quality, and it is not a recommendation of any hospital or package. The prices have not been confirmed in person, and hospitals change them without notice.
