116 rates across 47 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$399.50 – $8,500

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $399.50 to $8,500. That is not an error, and it is not our arithmetic — it is what the hospital published.

Two things are happening. Rates differ between insurers and plans, as you would expect — and the same plan also appears more than once at different prices. Each rate below is shown with the hospital's own line-item description, so you can read how its file labels them. The file does not say which one you would be billed under, so we show every figure rather than pick one.

What Aetna pays here

Every rate this hospital published under a name we recognise as Aetna, cheapest first, grouped by plan and then by the hospital's own line item. Which one is yours depends on your plan and on which line item this hospital bills the service under — the file does not know which card you carry, and does not say which line item it would use.

How complete the paperwork is

What Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago actually did publish. It is a measure of their paperwork, not their care. We hold no clinical, safety, or outcome data about any hospital, and nothing here should be read as a comment on the medicine.

0.86/ 1.00

At or above our 0.50 threshold, so this hospital appears in comparisons. A passing score means the file is complete enough to compare, not that it is complete.

0.00 Publishing threshold 0.50 1.00

The four parts of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago's disclosure-completeness score, each with its weight, its value, and what was counted.
What we checked Weight Scored Added
How many common services carry a price Partial credit 46 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.66 0.26
How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 5230123 of 5230553 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 1.00 0.25
How recently the file was updated Full credit Current: file states last_updated_on 2026-04-01 (196 days old). 0.20 1.00 0.20
How many rows are usable figures Near full credit 204 of 5478915 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 1.00 0.15
Total 0.86

Each part is scored from 0 to 1 and multiplied by its weight; the four add up to the total above. Every count in the right-hand column came from the hospital's own file — we did not estimate, impute, or fill a gap on their behalf. Where the file is thin, the score is thin, and the gap belongs to the publisher.
