The three kinds of price as this hospital published them
List price
The "gross charge" — the sticker price almost nobody actually pays.
$2,595
Cash price
What this hospital says it charges someone paying without insurance.
$1,557
Negotiated rates
6 rates across 4 insurers. What each one actually pays.
$110.89 – $332.66

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $110.89 to $332.66. 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.

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 UChicago Crown Point published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that UChicago Crown Point 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.

The four parts of UChicago Crown Point'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 Little credit 22 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.31 0.13
How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 94328 of 107610 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.88 0.22
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 13282 of 161182 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 0.92 0.14
Total 0.68

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.
