Questions to bring about your Jacksonville MRI. These are facility rates, and professional fees such as the radiologist's read are billed separately. Before scheduling, you can ask:
- Florida Blue: what is the negotiated rate and estimated cost share for my plan at a named hospital?
- Florida Blue: is that hospital in network for my plan?
- The hospital: can I get a written estimate for the MRI?

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.
