The median rate is $82.91. The lowest figure reflects a Medicare Advantage plan, and low rates often come from Medicaid or Medicare products rather than commercial ones.

How wide the Amerigroup spread runs. The page shows a spread of 8x, with a median of $82.91 across all 95 published rates. The lowest rate is listed under a Medicare Advantage plan, and several other low rates sit beside Amerigroup Community Care or Medicaid plan types. That suggests the low end likely reflects those plans rather than commercial plans, so a low figure may not apply to every member.

What an Amerigroup member in Knoxville can ask. These are facility rates, and professional fees are billed separately. Members can contact:

Understanding Amerigroup Negotiated Rates

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

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