Paying with
You told us you have Blue Cross Community Health Plans (Medicaid). Their rates are marked as yours; the rest are here so you can see the whole file.
Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital publishes no Blue Cross Community Health Plans (Medicaid) rate for Comprehensive metabolic panel. We could put one of the 66 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 Blue Cross Community Health Plans (Medicaid) pays.
The file does not say why it is missing — Blue Cross Community Health Plans (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 Blue Cross Community Health Plans (Medicaid) whether this hospital is in your network.
The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $8.46 to $213.96. 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 Good Shepherd 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 Good Shepherd 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.

| 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.

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.
