Nerve root injection, lower back in Chicago
We are still reading 1 price file in Chicago. Prices appear here as they finish — nothing below means we have not read them yet, not that the hospitals publish nothing.
These prices are not directly comparable
Hospitals bill this one at different levels. One may publish a single operating-room line while another publishes the whole surgical episode — both honest, both under the same billing code. So the figures below are what each hospital publishes, not a like-for-like comparison, and we do not compute a "cheapest" from them. Why →

What these three numbers mean
Self-pay price is what the hospital says it charges someone paying directly. It is the number to ask for by name. List price is the undiscounted charge almost nobody pays. Insurers pay is the range of procedure-specific negotiated rates in the file — useful mainly to see whether the self-pay price is above or below what insurers get.
Some hospitals attach one flat rate to nearly their whole price list. Those are excluded here, because a number identical for a colonoscopy and a blood test says nothing about either. More on that →
