Pricing Patterns at HCA Northside
At HCA Florida Northside Hospital, the listed cash price equals the gross charge for every service with a nonzero price, meaning a 0% discount, such as $8,012.91 for an MRI of the brain without contrast and $31,599.17 for a CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast. Insured rates vary widely within a single service, for example $1,485.16 to $29,071.24 for that CT scan, and the cash price of $8,012.91 for a brain MRI is higher than most of its insured range ($376.61 to $7,371.88). Several procedures, including total knee replacement (insured $7,480 to $11,000) and cesarean delivery (insured $1,638 to $7,480), list $0 for gross and cash prices, so no cash price can be compared for those services in this data.

Asks for the billing office.
- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 for MRI Brain Without Contrast or 99284 for an ER visit, and ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, since the rows shown are facility charges only.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, such as a radiologist for imaging, an ER physician for an ER visit, or a surgeon and anesthesia for a knee replacement or cesarean delivery.
Blank prices and file date. Five rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: 45378 and 45380 (colonoscopy), 85025 (CBC), 59510 (cesarean delivery) and 27447 (total knee replacement). A $0 or blank value is missing data, not a free service. No values were left out as likely file errors. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-12.
