Paying with
Showing every price this hospital published. Say how you are paying and we will mark the one that is yours.
The three kinds of price
as this hospital published them
List price
The "gross charge" — the sticker price almost nobody actually pays.
$165
Cash price
What this hospital says it charges someone paying without insurance.
$82.50
Negotiated rates
22 rates across 18 insurers. What each one actually pays.
$8.68 – $146.85
The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $8.68 to $146.85.
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.
Rate by insurer, plan and line item
What each insurer pays
Sorted cheapest first, grouped by plan and then by the hospital's own line item. Plan names and line items are written exactly as the hospital wrote them. A plan that carries more than one price gets one row per price; line items the hospital priced the same are listed together once, because the file gives no reason to show one price as several.

How complete the paperwork is
What Advocate Lutheran General Hospital published — and what it left out
Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that
Advocate Lutheran General Hospital 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.
0.68/ 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
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.
Where these numbers came from
Provenance
Every figure above was read from a file this hospital publishes because federal law requires it. Nothing here is estimated, modelled, or supplied by us.
