Transparency & Added Value for Our Community

At UF Health St. Johns, we believe the communities we serve, including both consumers and employers, deserve the highest level of care, the best possible experience and the best value in health care. To support this, it is our responsibility to provide easy-to-understand insights into health care pricing information, and ultimately to compete on price. As a leading health system, we are committed to helping consumers better understand health care costs and make more informed health care decisions. What many people don’t know is that insurance companies negotiate payment rates with health care providers. What does this mean for the consumer? It means higher out-of-pocket costs for commercially insured patients when they receive care at health care systems that are being paid at higher rates.

Below you’ll see a chart comparing the estimated average payments that UF Health Flagler Hospital receives from commercial insurers with other systems in our market, for some of the most common procedures performed. We think the data speaks for itself.

Price Transparency

Estimate My Price

"Pricing Transparency" is the term used to describe initiatives in the health care industry to provide meaningful pricing information to consumers. The health care industry is often complex and difficult for consumers to navigate. Price transparency is a means of providing consumers price information on common services. Our hospital is committed to presenting pricing information on its website in a way that will be easy for the consumer to access and understand, as well as providing other useful information about financial assistance available, definitions of key terminology, and key financial policies.
