across 38 hospitals in the Chicago metro. Lowest at MacNeal Hospital Gottlieb Community Health Services Corporation, highest at HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL. Both are figures those hospitals published themselves — nothing here is averaged, estimated or rounded.

Every figure above comes from the 38 hospitals listed below and from the 2 billing codes hospitals use for it. Each is that hospital's own published figure.

38 hospitals · 347 published rates Cheapest first

Sorted cheapest first. A published figure that behaves like a placeholder rather than a real price — one cent, or a figure orders of magnitude below what other hospitals publish for the same billing code — never leads this order. It stays listed, after every other figure, ordered by its own amount among the others like it.
