22 rates across 18 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$160.73 – $2,225

Advocate Childrens Hospital - Park Ridge publishes no CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) rate for CT scan of the head. We could put one of the 22 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 CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) pays.

The file does not say why it is missing — CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) 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 CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) whether this hospital is in your network.

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $160.73 to $2,225. 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.

How complete the paperwork is

What Advocate Childrens Hospital - Park Ridge published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Advocate Childrens Hospital - Park Ridge 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.
