Every published price
Northwestern Memorial Hospital
for Abdominal ultrasound · Chicago 60611
One file, 2 locations. These prices come from a file that covers 2 locations — Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's 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 facilities this file names, exactly as it names them: Northwestern Memorial Hospital · Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women's Hospital.

Showing every price this hospital published. Say how you are paying and we will mark the one that is yours.
The same procedure, at this one hospital, ranges from $491.21 to $2,532. 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 Northwestern Memorial 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 Memorial 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.
0.92/ 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.

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.
These are published prices, not a quote and not a bill. What you owe depends on your own plan, your deductible, and what actually happens during your care.
