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.

The three kinds of price as this hospital published them
List price
The "gross charge" — the sticker price almost nobody actually pays. Posted under 2 line items for this procedure, at different amounts.
$100 – $223
Cash price
What this hospital says it charges someone paying without insurance.Posted under 2 line items for this procedure, at different amounts.
$100 – $223
Negotiated rates
4 rates across 4 insurers. What each one actually pays.
$29.67 – $82.21

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $29.67 to $82.21. 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.

Rate by insurer, plan and line item

What each insurer pays

Sorted cheapest first, grouped by plan and then by the hospital's own line item. Plan names and line items are written exactly as the hospital wrote them. A plan that carries more than one price gets one row per price; line items the hospital priced the same are listed together once, because the file gives no reason to show one price as several.

How complete the paperwork is

What University of Chicago Medical Center published — and what it left out

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.

0.80/ 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 University of Chicago Medical Center'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 Partial credit 53 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.76 0.30
How often the price is a dollar amount Partial credit 66052 of 100333 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.66 0.17
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 34281 of 284005 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 0.88 0.13
Total 0.80

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.

Where these numbers came from

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.
