47 rates across 24 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$76.49 – $2,404.84

Ascension Saint Joseph - Chicago (Presence Chicago Hospital Network) publishes no CountyCare (Cook County Health Medicaid) rate for CT scan of the head. We could put one of the 47 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 $76.49 to $2,404.84. 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 Ascension Saint Joseph - Chicago (Presence Chicago Hospital Network) published — and what it left out

Federal law tells hospitals what to publish. This score is our reading of how much of that Ascension Saint Joseph - Chicago (Presence Chicago Hospital Network) 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.

0.85/ 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 Ascension Saint Joseph - Chicago (Presence Chicago Hospital Network)'s disclosure-completeness score, each with its weight, its value, and what was counted.
What we checked Weight Scored Added

How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 796840 of 803541 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.99 0.25
How recently the file was updated Full credit Current: file states last_updated_on 2026-01-01 (286 days old). 0.20 1.00 0.20

Total 0.85

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.
