with Florida Blue data

Florida Blue's negotiated rates for knee replacement in Orlando span roughly 2x, from $13,407.17 at AdventHealth Orlando to $28,970 at UCF Lake Nona Hospital. The median across 7 hospitals is $21,882. The lowest rate is tied to a Medicare Managed Care plan, so Medicaid and Medicare rates may sit below commercial ones.

Why the range is so wide: Florida Blue 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.

Rates shown are Florida Blue's published negotiated rates from each hospital's CMS transparency file. "Lowest rate" is the lowest rate across all Florida Blue plan types (including Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage) at that hospital. Commercial plan rates are typically higher. Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

Understanding Florida Blue Negotiated Rates

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

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