Understanding Your Costs
When you receive a bill from ORLANDO HEALTH SOUTH LAKE HOSPITAL, you are typically seeing the hospital's “chargemaster” rate — its published list price for each service. According to CMS data, ORLANDO HEALTH SOUTH LAKE HOSPITAL lists chargemaster rates that average 10.4x the corresponding Medicare reimbursement amount across 89 procedures with publicly available pricing data (Source: CMS IPPS Provider Summary, FY2024).
The median hospital in FL has a chargemaster-to-Medicare ratio of 8.6x, with ratios across the state ranging from 1.0x to 20.0x. At 10.4x, this facility’s average ratio is above the state median. 165 hospitals in FL report pricing data to CMS (Source: CMS IPPS Provider Summary).
The procedure with the largest gap between the listed price and Medicare reimbursement at ORLANDO HEALTH SOUTH LAKE HOSPITAL is Acute Myocardial Infarction, Discharged Alive without Complications (DRG 282). The listed chargemaster rate is $60,865, while Medicare reimburses $3,438 for the same procedure — a ratio of 17.7x (Source: CMS IPPS Provider Summary, FY2024).
What does this actually mean for your bill? Chargemaster rates are rarely what patients pay. If you have insurance, your insurer has negotiated a separate rate — often 40–60% less than the listed price. If you are uninsured, you may be able to negotiate directly with the hospital or request financial assistance. The chargemaster-to-Medicare ratio is a useful reference point for understanding listed pricing, but it does not represent what most patients will owe out of pocket.
2 of 89 procedures (2%) at this facility have listed rates above the 90th percentile compared to other FL hospitals reporting the same procedure data to CMS (Source: CMS IPPS Provider Summary).
ORLANDO HEALTH SOUTH LAKE HOSPITAL is a government - hospital district or authority acute care hospitals facility with a CMS quality rating of 3/5 stars. Note: CMS quality ratings measure patient outcomes and experience, not pricing. A hospital with high listed prices may provide excellent care, and pricing data alone should not be used to evaluate the quality of a healthcare provider.
