with Humana data

Humana's negotiated ultrasound rates in Chattanooga span a 9x range, from $100.98 at CHI Memorial Hospital Chattanooga to $940.25 at Parkridge East Hospital. The median across four hospitals is $675.76. The lowest rate applies to a Medicare|HMO plan, so rates tied to government-linked products often sit below commercial pricing.

Why the range is so wide: Humana 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.

Questions for Humana and Chattanooga hospitals about an ultrasound. These are facility rates, and professional fees are billed separately. You can ask:

  • Humana, for your own plan's negotiated rate and estimated cost share at a named hospital such as Parkridge East Hospital
  • Humana, whether that hospital is in network for your plan
  • The hospital, for an estimate of the ultrasound

Understanding Humana Negotiated Rates

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

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