Reading Aetna Chest X-ray Rates in Pensacola
Who sits at each end. Among the five hospitals with Aetna rates, the lowest published figures are $10.17 at Baptist Hospital (Pensacola), $23.05 at Santa Rosa Medical Center and $35.69 at Gulf Breeze Hospital. At the other end, HCA Florida West Hospital shows $552.52, and Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola shows $67.80 as its lowest rate.
Why the range is so large. The page shows a 54x spread between the lowest and highest rates, and the median of all 56 published Aetna rates is $92.80. The plan types beside the lowest rates include MEDICARE and BETTER HLTHY KIDS, so the low end likely reflects those plans rather than commercial plans. Other rows name plan types that are harder to interpret, and the plan behind a rate is not always stated clearly.
Steps before you book. These figures are facility rates, and professional fees such as a radiologist's reading are billed separately. A member can:
- ask Aetna for their own plan's negotiated rate and estimated cost share at a named hospital
- confirm whether that hospital is in network for their plan
- ask the hospital for an estimate

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.
