Freedom Health's negotiated C-section rates across 10 Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach hospitals span a 2x range, from $1,495 at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital to $2,350 at HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital. The median rate also sits at $2,350. The lowest figure is tied to a Medicaid plan type, which often carries lower rates than commercial plans.

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 Freedom Health Negotiated Rates

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

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