46 rates across 12 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$31.59 – $238

Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital publishes no Meridian (Medicaid) rate for Kidney function test. We could put one of the 46 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 Meridian (Medicaid) pays.

The file does not say why it is missing — Meridian (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 Meridian (Medicaid) whether this hospital is in your network.

The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $31.59 to $238. 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 Northwestern Medicine Delnor 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 Delnor 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.

0.80/ 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.

0.00 Publishing threshold 0.50 1.00

The four parts of Northwestern Medicine Delnor 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 Partial credit 55 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.79 0.31
How often the price is a dollar amount Partial credit 3218587 of 4556512 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.71 0.18
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 Partial credit 1337925 of 4856320 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 0.72 0.11
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.

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.
