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.

933 rates across 15 insurers that are not yours. Context, not your price.
$60.92 – $438

Northwestern Memorial Hospital publishes no Aetna Better Health of Illinois (Medicaid) rate for Comprehensive metabolic panel. We could put one of the 933 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 $60.92 to $438. 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.

Not yours

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.

0.00 Publishing threshold 0.50 1.00

The four parts of Northwestern Memorial 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 Near full credit 60 of 70 CMS shoppable services have an unflagged gross or cash dollar amount. 0.40 0.86 0.34
How often the price is a dollar amount Near full credit 20740310 of 21837583 negotiated rates are dollar amounts rather than formulas. 0.25 0.95 0.24
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 1097273 of 22715116 rows are quality-flagged (placeholder, zero, blank, or algorithm-only). 0.15 0.95 0.14
Total 0.92

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.
