• Cost of health care tough to compare – refers to “list prices” but doesn't use the term chargemaster. Mentions Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. Wbm1058 ( talk) 18:05, 5 March 2013 (UTC) reply
• The Confusion of Hospital Pricing – Another reliable source. Uses terms hospital charges, retail price and hospital prices, but no chargemaster. Mentions the Healthcare Blue Book. – Wbm1058 ( talk) 18:27, 5 March 2013 (UTC) reply

Yeah, for this article, it'd be best to stick to reliable secondary sources that specifically refer to the term chargemaster, so as to stay on focus. — Cirt ( talk) 22:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC) reply

There used to be a site called hospitalvictims.com [1] which seems to have been taken down, it was a great resource Route3 ( talk) 16:04, 3 July 2013 (UTC) reply

It's nice to see that Time took up this issue in such a big way, which seems to have precipitated the creation of this article. Several years ago, a guy ran a blog where he posted daily updates on the topic. I believe that he was funded by J. Patrick Rooney, and it was sad to see the blog die shortly after Rooney's death.
