Pricing Patterns at HCA Palms West
At HCA Florida Palms West Hospital, listed cash prices equal gross charges for every procedure with a nonzero price, meaning no cash discount (0 percent) appears in the data, and several procedures (knee replacement, colonoscopies, cesarean delivery, CBC) show $0 for gross and cash charges, so those figures should be read as unreported rather than free. Insured rates vary widely for some services: an MRI of the brain without contrast ranges from $550 to $18,207.60, and a complete metabolic panel ranges from $358.45 to $5,001.60, while others show a single rate, such as $17,020.68 for a CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast. In several cases the top insured rate exceeds the cash price, for example $18,207.60 versus $15,173 for the brain MRI and $8,545.20 versus $7,121 for a Level 5 ER visit, while the lowest insured rates fall far below cash, such as $413.32 against $4,806 for a pelvic ultrasound.

Cash price next to gross and insured amounts. HCA Palms West publishes cash prices equal to its gross charges, so cash is 100% of gross on every row that has both values, and no separate self-pay discount appears in its file. Of the 12 rows with a published cash price, 0 have cash below the insured range, 12 fall within it and 0 sit above it. The file lists 1,260 insurer rate entries from 49 payer names, and the lumbar spine MRI, for example, shows an insured range of $391.22 to $18,207.60.
- Quote the billing code, such as 93306 or 71046, when asking for a price.
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, such as supplies or contrast.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, for example a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician, a surgeon or anesthesia.
Zeros, blanks and posting date. 5 rows carry a data note because the gross charge and cash price were published as $0 or blank: both colonoscopy codes, the complete blood count, the cesarean delivery and the total knee replacement. A blank or $0 in this file means missing data, not a free service, so ask the billing office for the actual price. The file was updated 2026-09-01 and accessed by us 2026-10-12.
