Paying with
You told us you have Aetna. Their rates are marked as yours; the rest are here so you can see the whole file.
The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $2.44 to $17.60. 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.
Your insurer
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 Provident Hospital Cook County published — and what it left out
Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Provident Hospital Cook County 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.
0.97/ 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.

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.
These are published prices, not a quote and not a bill. What you owe depends on your own plan, your deductible, and what actually happens during your care.
