Find University of North Carolina Hospitals's price file
Since January 2021, federal regulation 42 CFR § 180 requires every US hospital to publish a machine-readable file of standard charges for all items and services. University of North Carolina Hospitals maintains this file — it is typically linked from the hospital's billing or “Price Transparency” page.
