with Florida Community Care data

BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel and St. Joseph's Hospital both appear at that figure, with the median matching. The lowest listed rates often reflect Medicaid HMO plans rather than commercial coverage.

Why the range is so wide: Florida Community Care 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.

Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

Understanding Florida Community Care Negotiated Rates

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

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