Every published price
University of Chicago Medical Center
for CT scan of the head · Chicago 60637
One file, 3 locations. These prices come from a file that covers 3 locations — The University of Chicago Medical Center, UChicago Medicine Center for Care and Discovery and UChicago Medicine Comer Childrens 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 "The University of Chicago Medical Center".
The facilities this file names, exactly as it names them: The University of Chicago Medical Center · UChicago Medicine Center for Care and Discovery · UChicago Medicine Comer Childrens Hospital.
Paying with
You told us you have CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid). Their rates are marked as yours; the rest are here so you can see the whole file.
University of Chicago Medical Center publishes no CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) rate for CT scan of the head. We could put one of the 6 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 $112.03 to $772.14. 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.

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that University of Chicago Medical Center 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.

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.
