Pricing Patterns at Parkridge Medical Center
At Parkridge Medical Center, listed cash prices match gross charges exactly for every service with a nonzero charge, which means no cash discount (0 percent) appears in the data, and several procedures such as Total Knee Replacement and Cesarean Delivery show $0 for both gross and cash. Gross charges for imaging are far above the insured ranges, for example MRI Brain Without Contrast at $10,890.27 gross and cash versus $420.25 to $447.18 insured, and Complete Metabolic Panel at $1,413.59 versus $19.01 insured. In some cases the cash price falls within or below the insured range, such as ER Visit Level 4 at $1,695.47 cash against insured rates of $312.14 to $1,492.01 (above the top of that range), while Total Knee Replacement shows an unusually wide insured spread from $2,125.60 to $32,760.

For example, the MRI Brain Without Contrast cash price is $10,890.27, while its insured rates run from $170.96 to $9,583.44.
Items a reader can raise with billing.
- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 or 99284, and ask for the cash or self-pay price along with an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, since the file shows facility charges only.
- Ask whether separate professional bills may follow, such as a radiologist for imaging, an ER physician for an ER visit, or a surgeon and anesthesia for a procedure like a cesarean delivery or knee replacement.
Zero values, blanks and file timing. Five rows carry a data note because gross and cash were published as $0 or blank: 45378, 45380, 85025, 59510 and 27447. That means the data is missing, not that the service is free. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and we accessed it 2026-10-09.
General information about using published prices, not medical, legal or financial advice. Confirm your own cost with the hospital and your insurer. Our methodology
Understanding the Columns
Gross Charge: The chargemaster price before any discounts. Rarely what patients pay. It is primarily a starting point for insurance negotiations.
Cash/Self-Pay: The discounted rate hospitals offer to uninsured patients. Ask about financial assistance programs for further reductions.
Insured Range: Lowest to highest negotiated rates across all payers. Medicare rates are typically lowest; commercial plan rates highest.
About Facility Fees
Prices shown are facility fees only. You'll also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
Imaging procedures include a facility fee plus a radiologist's reading fee. Surgical procedures add surgeon, anesthesia, and pathology fees.
For a more complete estimate, contact the hospital's financial counselling office or your insurer to request a pre-service cost estimate that includes all expected professional fees.
