Florida Healthcare Cost Landscape
CMS lists 222 hospitals in Florida across 136 cities. MIAMI holds 10 (5%). The three densest cities together hold 12% of the state roster. Statewide that is 13,744 Medicare-billing providers, 61.9 per listed hospital.
163 hospitals carry a CMS overall star rating (11 five-star, 42 four-star, 45 three-star, 39 two-star, 26 one-star) ; five-star share among rated facilities is 7%. 59 hospitals in this extract have no published overall rating.
Facility-type mix: Acute Care Hospitals 169 (76%); Psychiatric 29 (13%); Critical Access Hospitals 12 (5%); Acute Care - Veterans Administration 7 (3%).
Among the 30 highest-volume procedure codes billed in Florida, Drugs (Administered) leads with 77.1M services (43% of this top-volume slice) across 14 codes. Next is Temporary Codes at 17%.
Submitted charges average $1,774.37 against $320.44 Medicare payment (5.5x billed-to-Medicare). That ratio ranks #29 of 56 jurisdictions with both figures in this extract. Average Medicare payment itself is #2 of 56.
Volume leaders are not the high-payment codes. Provision Of Covid-19 Test, Nonprescription Self-Administered And Self-Collected Use, Fda Approved, Authorized Or Cleared, One Test Count is in the top volume slice but not the highest Medicare payments; Sipuleucel-T, Minimum Of 50 Million Autologous Cd54+ Cells Activated With Pap-Gm-Csf, Including Leukapheresis And All Other Preparatory Procedures, Per Infusion is in the high-payment set without matching volume rank.
