Price pills Color by price

The interactive map needs JavaScript, which this page can do without: nothing is missing below. Every hospital in this search — its price, its distance and its disclosure note — is in the list underneath, in the same cheapest-first order the map would draw.

Numbers run from 1 upwards, cheapest first. Nothing here says a hospital is a better place to be treated — we hold no clinical or outcome data at all. 2 of the 45 hospitals published a figure below $1.49; the ranking places those after every figure on the scale, so they carry the last numbers and their pills a broken outline. Nothing is left out — each one is in the list below, under the number on its marker, with the figure it published.

Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. The street tiles are the one thing on this site your browser fetches from a third party — on this page only — so the tile server sees your IP address the way any website you visit does. No search term, no postcode and nothing you typed is in those requests.

Hospitals are placed at the centre of their postcode, not at their front door, so a marker can sit a few streets from the building it names. Distances are postcode to postcode for the same reason. Where hospitals share a postcode, their markers are fanned a street's width apart so each stays readable — the spacing is ours, not a claim about their addresses, and the distances are unaffected.

How to read a marker

The number is this hospital's position in the order, cheapest first, and it is the same number the list below carries. Select a marker for the hospital's name, its published figure and the way through to its prices.
The figure on the pill is the hospital's own lowest published figure for this search, exactly as published — the same number the list below carries, so the price reads with no colour at all.
Color by price tints each pill on a scale from the lowest price (green) to the highest price (red) in this result. The tint repeats what the pill already prints and carries nothing of its own; the plain pills say everything without it.
A dashed outline means there is something to know about what that hospital published, spelled out in the list below. A dashed marker with a letter instead of a number is a hospital we have withheld from the ranking.
Nothing on this map ranks hospitals by their care. We hold no clinical or outcome data about any hospital at all — only how completely each one published its prices.

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.

2 hospitals not on the map

These hospitals answered your search and are missing from the picture above. Each says below why it is not placed. The prices are as real as any other on this page.

Children's Hospital of Illinois

Peoria Not on the map

$8.85

negotiated rate

Not on the map because we hold no postcode we can place it by — usually the address in the published file could not be read, and we would rather leave it blank than guess. One file, 3 locations These prices come from a file that covers 3 locations — OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Almost Home Kids at OSF Healthcare Children's Hospital of Illinois and Childrens Hospital of Illinois — 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 file's own header names it "OSF Saint Francis Medical Center".

Endeavor Health Clinical Operations

Evanston Not on the map

$27.95 – $32.90

negotiated rate

Not on the map because this record is not a single place: the file behind it covers several addresses and does not say which of them a price belongs to, so no one point here would be true for it. Not one hospital — 3 facilities in one file This is not a single hospital. Endeavor Health Clinical Operations publishes one price file for 3 of its facilities — Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital, Endeavor Health Glenbrook Hospital and Endeavor Health Skokie Hospital — and names all 3 without saying which of them any price belongs to, so these figures cannot be split between them. The address we show for it — 2650 Ridge Ave, Evanston, IL 60201 — is the one this file gives for Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital, one of the 3, and not an address of its own. We list it under "Endeavor Health Skokie Hospital", the name that publisher's own index of its files gave this one; the file's own header calls it "Endeavor Health Clinical Operations". The prices are served in full, exactly as published; what no file here can tell you is which of the 3 you would be charged at.
