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.

How many Tampa-St. Petersburg hospitals have published AvMed rates?

Will AvMed cover an out-of-network ER visit?
Under the No Surprises Act, emergency services must be covered regardless of network status. AvMed 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.
