with Aetna data

Aetna's negotiated ER visit rates in Jacksonville span a 16x range, from $270.81 at UF Health Jacksonville to $4,391.70 at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital. Across 13 hospitals, the median rate is $1,597. The lowest figures often reflect Medicaid or Medicare Advantage plans rather than commercial coverage.

Why the range is so wide: Aetna negotiates different rates for different plan types. Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage plans typically have the lowest negotiated rates. Commercial PPO and HMO plans are higher. The "lowest rate" at each hospital may be a Medicaid or Medicare plan rate, not a commercial plan rate. The plan type is shown in the table where available.

Rates shown are Aetna's published negotiated rates from each hospital's CMS transparency file. "Lowest rate" is the lowest rate across all Aetna plan types (including Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage) at that hospital. Commercial plan rates are typically higher. Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

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.

How many Jacksonville hospitals have published Aetna rates?

Will Aetna cover an out-of-network ER visit?

Under the No Surprises Act, emergency services must be covered regardless of network status. Aetna cannot charge you more than your in-network cost-sharing for emergency care, even at an out-of-network hospital. This applies to the ER visit itself, though follow-up care after you are stabilized may be billed differently.
