The plan type beside the lowest rate is listed as Exchange, not Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage, but a plan behind a rate is not always stated clearly, so a single low figure may not reflect what your own plan pays.

What to ask Ambetter and Nashville hospitals about a colonoscopy. These are facility rates, and professional fees are billed separately. A member can:

  • Ask Ambetter for the negotiated rate and estimated cost share under their own plan at a named hospital.
  • Ask Ambetter whether that hospital is in network for their plan.
  • Ask the hospital for a written estimate.

Understanding Ambetter Negotiated Rates

A negotiated rate is the price Ambetter 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 Ambetter plan types at each facility.

Prices shown are facility fees only. You will also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
