Hospitals answering this search, placed on a street map of the Chicago metro. 15 hospital markers placed by postcode across the metro, numbered in the same order as the list below, cheapest first: number 1 is $6.35 and number 15 is $10.65, the two ends of the scale. Each marker is a pill printing its number and the figure the hospital published, so the price reads straight off the map without any colour at all. The numbered list below carries every hospital, its price, its distance and its disclosure note. The map is a visual restatement of the list under it; skip to “Every hospital in this search” for the same hospitals in the same order.
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.
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.
