Three Texas cities--McAllen, Harlingen and Corpus Christi--rank in the top 10 of the Dartmouth Atlas data. Treating a Medicare patient in each of these places costs more than $10,000. According to BCBS data, which draws on 4.3 million members, Dallas and Houston rank as the most expensive metro areas, 15% higher than Austin and San Antonio and 20% higher than El Paso.
