Q:Question: What is included in my estimate?
A:Answer:Your AdventHealth estimate includes hospital and AdventHealth-employed provider fees, when applicable. However, not all providers at AdventHealth facilities are employed by AdventHealth and may bill separately for their services. Hospitals also charge a facility fee, which is separate from provider fees.
For a list of non-AdventHealth providers and how to request their fee estimates, see the Additional Bill Types section.
This estimate is based on your insurance coverage at the time it was created and may not reflect unprocessed or updated benefits. It is calculated from your physician’s order and may vary depending on:
- Surgery or recovery time
- Equipment, supplies, or medications used
- Additional tests ordered
- Special care or complications
- Changes to your insurance benefits

Q:Question: What is price transparency?
A:Answer:We're committed to helping you understand your health care costs while remaining compliant with federal and state guidelines. Price Transparency allows you to make informed decisions by proactively comparing healthcare costs for different services. AdventHealth complies with price transparency regulations such as the No Surprise Act, a federal law designed to protect individuals covered by health insurance from unexpected medical bills, particularly from out-of-network care in emergency situations, non-emergency care at in-network facilities, and air ambulance services.
