with Simply Healthcare data

Simply Healthcare's negotiated lab-work rates across 27 Tampa-St. Petersburg hospitals span roughly 10x, from $11.09 at Tampa General Hospital Brooksville to $108.18 at St. Joseph's Hospital. The $108.18 figure is also the median, so at least half of these hospitals sit at the top of the range. The lowest rates often reflect Medicare or Medicaid plans rather than commercial ones.

Why the range is so wide: Simply Healthcare 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.

Understanding Simply Healthcare Negotiated Rates

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

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