Pricing Patterns at HCA Gainesville
At HCA Florida Gainesville Hospital, the listed cash price equals the gross charge for every procedure with a nonzero gross charge, which means there is a 0% discount from gross to cash, and the gap between those figures and insured rates is large: a CT Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast carries a gross and cash price of $29,323.57 versus an insured range of $8,445.19 to $13,195.61, and an MRI Brain Without Contrast is listed at $6,544.52 gross and cash versus a single insured rate of $517.79. Several services show $0 gross and cash entries, including Total Knee Replacement (insured $45,365), Screening Colonoscopy (insured $8,440), and CBC with Differential (insured $7.77), so no self-pay figure is listed for those items in the data. ER visit prices also show wide spreads, such as Level 5 at $12,987.01 gross and cash versus an insured range of $2,441.56 to $5,844.15, and the MRI Brain insured rate of $517.79 is notably lower than the $1,884.82 to $2,945.03 insured range for an MRI Lumbar Spine, even though both share the same $6,544.52 gross charge.

Using HCA Gainesville's Published Prices
Where HCA Gainesville sits locally. The metro table compares seven procedures against other Gainesville hospitals that publish cash prices. For 6 of them, HCA Gainesville is near the median (within 5%), 1 is above the median, and 0 are below. The one above is Lab Work, labeled "2574% above median", with HCA Florida Gainesville Hospital at $1,256.95 against a Gainesville median of $47. Most other rows land near the median partly because the median is set by this hospital's own price.
Cash versus insured at this hospital. HCA Gainesville publishes cash prices equal to its gross charges, 100% of gross on every row where both appear, so no separate self-pay discount appears in its file. Of the 12 rows with a cash price, 0 are below the insured range, 0 are within it, and 12 are above every insured rate. For example, the ER Visit Level 3 row (99283) shows a cash price of $8,381.70 against insured rates from $1,575.76 to $3,771.77.
Asking about a specific service. Things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 99283 or 72148, and ask for the cash or self-pay price in writing.
- Ask for an itemized estimate and what the quote includes and leaves out, such as supplies, contrast, or follow-up visits.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, such as a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician, a surgeon, or anesthesia, since the listed prices are facility charges.
Blanks and the file date. Four rows have values published as $0 or blank: 45378, 45380, 85025 and 27447. That is missing data, not a free service, so check those prices with the billing office. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-08.

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.
