with Optimum HealthCare data

Optimum HealthCare's negotiated CT scan rates in Tampa-St. Petersburg span a threefold range, from $1,132.95 at BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel to $3,472.65 at HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital. Across 19 hospitals, the median rate is $2,331.83. The lowest rates reflect Medicare HMO pricing, which often runs below commercial plan rates.

Understanding Optimum HealthCare Negotiated Rates

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

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