Data were analyzed in the Excel and using regression in the statistics. Result: The findings of the study showed that there was a difference between recorded costs and tariffs in both of hospitals as recorded cost were more than tariffs. Costs in number 2 hospital were less than number 1 for same surgeries. Also number 2 hospital could reduce costs in 2016 than 2015.
