Is the data US only? I wonder if there is a global version? On quick glance didn't find the provenance of the data. Would you mind sharing how the data is collected? I'm working with an asian insurer to bring price transparency to the public. If there is a trustable global database would benefit the world hugely. There are, for example, non urgent medical procedures that people can undergo in different countries

The data is collected by a team of scrapers, and the rows can be checked against the source files listed in the `hospital` table.
