Select Procedure to Audit:

Fair BaseRate™ $19,087

Medicare Rate $14,117

Self-Pay Cash $61,425

Insurer Median $13,619

1. Amount on Your Bill or Quote ($) Pre-filled with University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics’s charged/list benchmark

2. Household Annual Income ($) Screened against 2026 HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines

Step 1 · 501(r) Charity Care Check 274% of 2026 FPL

Above Standard 400% FPL Financial-Assistance Ceiling

At 274% FPL, you exceed the standard 400% FPL tier, though medical-hardship caps (when bills exceed 10% of annual income) may still apply.

Step 2 · Cash vs. Insurance Arbitrage Save $26,325 Paying Cash

Self-Pay Cash Rate ($61,425) Beats Your Bill

University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics's published 45 CFR § 180 self-pay cash rate is $61,425 (vs. $13,619 commercial insurer median). Ask billing to reclassify the visit to prompt-pay self-pay if it beats your deductible.

Step 3 · Fair BaseRate Target +$68,663 Above Fair BaseRate

Negotiate Toward $19,087 Fair BaseRate ($14,117 Medicare)

Your bill ($87,750) is $68,663 above the denoised Fair BaseRate ($19,087) and 6.2× the $14,117 Medicare rate.
