$243.92 – $3,535

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $243.92 to $3,535. 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.

What Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois pays here

Every rate this hospital published under a name we recognise as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, 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 Central DuPage Hospital published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Central DuPage 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.

0.85/ 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 Central DuPage 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 5708842 of 7019307 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas.	0.25	0.81	0.20
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 1310465 of 7375194 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only).	0.15	0.82	0.12
Total			0.85

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.
