33 rates across 17 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$37.76 – $236

Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital publishes no Humana rate for Physical therapy session. We could put one of the 33 rates below in this space, and it would be wrong: a rate is negotiated between one hospital and one insurer, so what any of those insurers pays here tells you nothing about what Humana pays.

The file does not say why it is missing — Humana may not be contracted here for this service, or the hospital may have left it out of the disclosure it is required to publish. Both are worth asking about: ask the hospital for the rate, and ask Humana whether this hospital is in your network.

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $37.76 to $236. That is not an error, and it is not our arithmetic — it is what the hospital published.

The difference is between insurers and plans. Each negotiates its own rate, so which figure applies to you depends on the card in your wallet.

How complete the paperwork is

What Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Northwestern Medicine Palos 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.

0.89/ 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 Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital'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 Near full credit 57 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.81 0.33
How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 4461271 of 4960391 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.90 0.23
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 499120 of 5277261 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 0.91 0.14
Total 0.89

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.
