with ProCare Advantage data

ProCare Advantage lab-work rates across 22 Houston hospitals range from $11.09 at HCA Clear Lake to $12.14 at MH Woodlands, with a median of $11.36. The lowest rates are typically Medicaid/Medicare rather than commercial plans. This narrow 1x spread indicates relatively consistent pricing across the market.

Why the range is so wide: ProCare Advantage 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.

Rates shown are ProCare Advantage's published negotiated rates from each hospital's CMS transparency file. "Lowest rate" is the lowest rate across all ProCare Advantage plan types (including Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage) at that hospital. Commercial plan rates are typically higher. Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

Understanding ProCare Advantage Negotiated Rates

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

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