Every other insurer

64 rates across 32 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.

$8.71 – $330.75

Rush University Medical Center publishes no Aetna Better Health of Illinois (Medicaid) rate for Comprehensive metabolic panel. We could put one of the 64 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 Aetna Better Health of Illinois (Medicaid) pays.

The file does not say why it is missing — Aetna Better Health of Illinois (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 Aetna Better Health of Illinois (Medicaid) whether this hospital is in your network.

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $8.71 to $330.75. 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 Rush University 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 Rush University 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.

0.93/ 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 Rush University 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 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 Full credit 572625 of 572625 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas.	0.25	1.00	0.25
How recently the file was updated Full credit Current: file states last_updated_on 2026-07-22 (84 days old).	0.20	1.00	0.20
How many rows are usable figures Full credit 0 of 653875 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only).	0.15	1.00	0.15
Total			0.93

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.
