with AvMed data

AvMed echocardiogram rates across 27 Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach hospitals span a 107x gap, from $67.68 at Holy Cross Hospital to $7,220.50 at HCA Florida Westside Hospital. The median negotiated rate is $2,433.59. The lowest figure is an AvMed Medicare Advantage rate, and the lowest rates in this data often reflect Medicaid or Medicare plans rather than commercial ones.

Why the range is so wide: AvMed 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.

Understanding AvMed Negotiated Rates

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

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