with Freedom Health data

Freedom Health's negotiated lab-work rates across 26 Tampa-St. Petersburg hospitals span a 33x range, from $10.77 at Tampa General Hospital Brooksville to $354.78 at HCA Florida Trinity Hospital. The median rate is $120.20. The lowest figure reflects a Medicare Managed Care plan, and rates under Medicaid or Medicare plans often run below commercial plan 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.

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.
