One file, 3 locations. These prices come from a file that covers 3 locations — Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital, Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital — and the file does not say which of them any price belongs to. Every figure here is that whole file's rather than this one address's. The file's own header names it "Northern Illinois Medical Center DBA Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital".

The facilities this file names, exactly as it names them: Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital · Northwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital · Northwestern Medicine Woodstock Hospital.

Every other insurer
25 rates across 11 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$45.55 – $236

Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital publishes no Medicare (fee-for-service) rate for Physical therapy session. We could put one of the 25 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 Medicare (fee-for-service) pays.

The file does not say why it is missing — Medicare (fee-for-service) 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 Medicare (fee-for-service) whether this hospital is in your network.

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $45.55 to $236. 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.

How complete the paperwork is

What Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Northwestern Medicine McHenry 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.

0.88/ 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 Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital's disclosure-completeness score, each with its weight, its value, and what was counted.

How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 5181068 of 5862667 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.88 0.22

Total 0.88

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.
