If you are going to a hospital and looking to get the most bang for your buck, you may want to steer clear of Florida.
Six of the nation’s most expensive hospitals are in Florida, and Orange Park Medical Center is the highest in that group, according to a ranking by National Nurses United. Look through the photos to see the top 10.
The ranking looks at what the hospitals charge compared to the costs of the hospitals. For example, if a hospital has $100 in costs and a charge to cost ratio of 200 percent, the hospital charges $200 for its $100 in cost.
One thing to be aware of is that these are base charges and insurance companies negotiate discounts. But if you don’t have insurance, these types of ratios are what you should expect to see on your bill.
