ER Visit Cost in Jacksonville, FL

An emergency room visit involves an evaluation by emergency staff, which can include examination, monitoring, testing and treatment, and it produces a documented assessment and results. The hospital facility fee is the charge for the hospital's resources, such as the treatment space, nursing, equipment and supplies, and it is separate from the physician's own bill. This page lists facility prices for three billing codes: 99283 (ER Visit Level 3, Moderate), 99284 (ER Visit Level 4, High/Urgent) and 99285 (ER Visit Level 5, Critical). The figures come from the price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish, covering 13 Jacksonville area hospitals and 39 price rows.

What These Prices Mean

Reading gross, cash and insured figures
The gross charge is a hospital's full list price, the cash price is what a self-paying patient is quoted, and the insured range spans the lowest to highest negotiated rates with health plans. On this page, gross charges run from $1,994.42 at UF Health Jacksonville (99283) to $15,072.39 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (99285). Cash is 37% of gross at the four Ascension St. Vincent's hospitals, 62% of gross at the Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals and 55% of gross at UF Health Jacksonville. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital publish cash at 100% of gross. People on a high-deductible plan who have not met the deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate, so the insured range is the relevant figure for them.

How the three codes step up
The three codes describe increasing levels of ER visit intensity. At UF Health Jacksonville, cash is $1,096.93 for 99283, $1,842.82 for 99284 and $4,605.35 for 99285. At the Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals, cash is $1,630.60 for 99283, $2,858.20 for 99284 and $2,920.20 for 99285. At HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, cash is $5,928 for 99283, $8,267 for 99284 and $14,639 for 99285. The size of the step between levels differs from one hospital to the next.

Why ER Visit Prices Vary

Discount policies set the cash spread
The 13 hospitals belong to four systems: Baptist Health (Jacksonville) with 6 hospitals, Ascension with 4, HCA Healthcare with 2 and UF Health with 1. Hospitals in the same system publish identical gross and cash prices. Excluding the two hospitals whose cash equals gross, cash prices run from $1,096.93 at UF Health Jacksonville (99283) to $4,605.35 at UF Health Jacksonville (99285), with the highest about 4x the lowest. Including them, the top of the range rises to $15,072.39. Gross charges span about 8x from lowest to highest. At two HCA hospitals, 99285 cash exceeds the highest insured rate: $14,639 against up to $13,175.10 at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, and $15,072.39 against up to $13,795.80 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital.

Other facilities and plan differences
Freestanding emergency departments, urgent care centers and other facilities outside this dataset may price differently, and their files are not covered here. Insurer data shows wide variation too. Florida Blue's rates across 13 hospitals run from $277.94 at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County to $4,729 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, with a median of $1,770. At HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, 170 published rates for 99285 range from $190 to $13,175.10.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your ER Visit cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $1,096.93 to $15,072.39 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $70.30 (HCA Florida Memorial Hospital). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These ER Visit Prices

Check the level after the visit. These figures are for reviewing a bill, not for choosing where to go. The level is set after the visit based on the care given, so it cannot be picked in advance. Look on the hospital's bill for 99283, 99284 or 99285, and ask the billing office to explain why that level was assigned. You can also request an itemized bill so tests, imaging and medication each appear as their own line.

Set your total beside the cash and insured figures. At HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, the 99283 cash price of $5,928 is the same as the gross charge, and it sits above every insured rate listed there, which tops out at $5,335.20. At UF Health Jacksonville, the 99283 cash price is $1,096.93 against an insured range ending at $2,103.75. Ask whether the amount you were billed is closer to a cash figure or an insured rate, and which one applies to you.

Count who billed you. The numbers on this page are facility charges only. Check these on your paperwork:

The hospital facility fee, which these rows describe.
A separate bill from the ER physician, often from a different company.
Possible separate bills for radiology or lab reading.

No blanks to worry about here. All 39 rows on this page show a cash price and a gross charge, so none of the figures above are missing data. If another page shows $0 or a blank, treat it as unpublished, not free.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. Assistance applications and discount requests can be made after the visit.

What Patients Ask About ER Visit Costs

How much does a er visit cost without insurance in Jacksonville?

Among the 13 hospitals on this page, all 39 rows have a published cash price, so none is missing. Cash prices run from $1,096.93 at UF Health Jacksonville (99283) to $15,072.39 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (99285). Two hospitals, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, publish cash equal to gross with no self-pay discount. Excluding those two, the range is $1,096.93 to $4,605.35, both at UF Health Jacksonville. These are facility charges only. Physician and other professional fees are billed separately and are not included in these figures.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, which few patients pay in practice. Cash prices are usually published as a discounted share of it. On this page, cash is 37% of gross at the four Ascension St. Vincent's hospitals, 62% of gross at the Baptist Health (Jacksonville) hospitals and 55% of gross at UF Health Jacksonville. HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital publish cash at 100% of gross, so no gap appears there. Gross charges themselves span about 8x, from $1,994.42 at UF Health Jacksonville (99283) to $15,072.39 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (99285).

Does insurance cover a er visit?

Whether and how much a plan pays depends on the specific plan, its network and its terms, so the plan's own documents are the place to confirm details. All 13 hospitals on this page publish at least one insured rate. Published insured rates range from $70.30 at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital (99283) to $19,697 at Wolfson Children's Hospital (99283). Florida Blue's rates across the 13 hospitals run from $277.94 to $4,729. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you typically pay the plan's negotiated rate for the visit.

Are there additional fees beyond the er visit facility charge?

The facility charge is only one part of an ER bill. Emergency physicians usually bill separately for their professional services. Radiologists may bill separately for reading imaging, and pathologists or outside laboratories may bill for lab work. Other separate bills can come from ambulance transport, specialist consultations and anesthesia if a procedure is performed. Supplies, medications and tests may also appear as their own line items on an itemized bill. Each of these can come from a different billing entity, so requesting an itemized statement helps show which charges belong to the hospital and which do not.

What is the cash price for a level 3 ER visit at UF Health Jacksonville?

UF Health Jacksonville publishes a cash price of $1,096.93 for the level 3 ER visit (99283), against a gross charge of $1,994.42. The cash price is 55% of gross. These are facility charges only, so physician fees and other services are not included in these figures.

What are the lowest and highest cash prices for an ER visit in Jacksonville?

Across the 13 Jacksonville hospitals on this page, cash prices run from $1,096.93 at UF Health Jacksonville (99283) to $15,072.39 at HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital (99285). Both are facility charges only. The highest price is a cash price equal to gross, meaning no self-pay discount is published there.

What is the difference between ER visit codes 99283, 99284 and 99285?

On this page, 99283 is labeled ER Visit Level 3 (Moderate), 99284 is Level 4 (High/Urgent), and 99285 is Level 5 (Critical). At UF Health Jacksonville, cash prices are $1,096.93, $1,842.82 and $4,605.35 respectively. Figures cover the facility charge only and no values are missing for these codes.

Do any Jacksonville hospitals charge the same cash price as the gross charge for an ER visit?
