across 48 hospitals in the Chicago metro. Lowest at MacNeal Hospital Gottlieb Community Health Services Corporation, highest at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Both are figures those hospitals published themselves — nothing here is averaged, estimated or rounded.
Every figure above comes from the 48 hospitals listed below and from the single billing code hospitals use for it. Each is that hospital's own published figure. 3 other hospitals publish only a formula for this — a percentage of some other number rather than a price — so they are not in these figures at all.

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.
Comparisons against other hospitals were computed on 2 November 2026. Each price carries its own fetch date; a comparison is a snapshot of what other hospitals had published when it ran, not a standing fact.
