Rates shown are Aetna's published negotiated rates from each hospital's CMS transparency file.

Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.
Reading Aetna Chest X-ray Rates in Jacksonville
Where the published rates sit. The lowest Aetna rates in the table are at UF Health Jacksonville at $39.26, then Baptist Medical Center Beaches and Baptist Medical Center Clay, both at $42.71. At the other end, HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital shows $971.38, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital shows $531, and the next highest lowest-rate figure is Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County at $63.39.
Reading the gap. Across 13 hospitals the spread is 25x, and the median of all 139 published Aetna rates is $181.18. The plan types beside the lowest rates are labeled Healthy Kids and Managed Medicaid, so the low end likely reflects those plans rather than commercial plans. A rate does not always tell you which plan sits behind it, so a figure in the table may not match what your own plan pays.
Asking for your own numbers. These are facility rates, and professional fees such as a radiologist's reading are billed separately. Before a visit, a member can contact:
- Aetna, for their own plan's negotiated rate and estimated cost share at a named hospital, and to confirm whether that hospital is in network for their plan.
- The hospital, for an estimate of the charges for their visit.

Understanding Aetna Negotiated Rates
A negotiated rate is the price Aetna has agreed to pay a hospital for a specific service. This is not necessarily what you pay out of pocket. If you have met your annual deductible, you typically pay a copay or coinsurance percentage of the negotiated rate. If you have not met your deductible, you may owe the full negotiated rate.
The same insurer often negotiates different rates at different hospitals, and different plan types (HMO, PPO, high-deductible) within the same insurer can have different rates at the same hospital. The table above shows the range across all Aetna plan types at each facility.
Prices shown are facility fees only. You will also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
