with Aetna data

The median rate is $299.95. Lower rates in the table often reflect Medicaid or Medicare plan types rather than commercial contracts.

Spread, median and the plan label. The spread across the 28 hospitals is 106x, and the median of all 214 published Aetna rates is $299.95. The plan types beside the lowest rates here are labeled Commercial Other, so the plan behind a rate is not always clearly stated. Several rates just above them carry Medicare Managed Care labels, and the high-end HCA Florida rows are labeled ASA, so a table figure may not match your own plan.

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.
