COPD Cost in Florida — Compare All Hospitals
Hospitalization for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation with major comorbidities.
What this hospital charge usually covers
The gross-charge number above is the hospital's facility bill for copd. Here's what's typically inside that price (typical inpatient stay: 4–7 days):
Included in the hospital bill
- Inpatient room and respiratory monitoring
- Oxygen therapy and (if needed) BiPAP or ventilator support
- IV steroids, antibiotics, and nebulizer treatments
- Chest imaging and routine labs during admission
Usually billed separately
- Pulmonologist and hospitalist professional fees
- Outpatient pulmonary rehab program
- Home oxygen equipment after discharge
- Long-term inhaler maintenance medications
Quality signals to check before picking a hospital
Price alone won't tell you which hospital does copd best. These are the CMS quality measures that matter most for this specific procedure. Click any hospital below for its full profile, then look for these:
COPD Mortality (30-day)
How often patients hospitalized for COPD exacerbation survive 30 days.
COPD Readmissions
COPD is among the most-readmitted conditions. Strong discharge planning and pulmonary rehab referral lower this.
When the cheapest hospital may not be the best fit
The list below sorts by price. For copd, the lowest price isn't automatically the best fit — these are situations where it's worth weighing additional factors against price. None of the below is medical advice; talk to your doctor about what applies to your specific situation.
- For advanced COPD with frequent exacerbations, a hospital with a strong outpatient pulmonary program may be worth paying more for.
- For patients being considered for lung volume reduction surgery or transplant, an academic medical center is typically the right setting.
Questions to ask your hospital or insurer
The gross charge is the starting point. These are the procedure-specific questions to ask before you commit:
- Is home oxygen prescribed, and is the supplier in my insurance network?
- Is there a pulmonary rehab program available after discharge?
- Will any of my physicians be out-of-network?

9 Florida hospitals list a gross charge for copd under the federal price-transparency rule, with quoted prices spanning $19,604 to $66,681. The cheapest is Orlando Health Rockledge Hospital in Rockledge; the most expensive is Larkin Community Hospital in South Miami. The state average sits at $47,629.
What's published is the gross charge — the starting point, not what you'd actually owe. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists copd at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.
You usually don't choose a hospital during an urgent copd admission. This page is for the planning side: patients with chronic conditions weighing their options, caregivers picking ahead of time, or employers comparing in-network facilities. Click any hospital name for its full quality profile — CMS overall star rating, mortality and readmission rates, patient-experience scores. When two nearby hospitals look similar on quality, the one with lower published charges is the safer default for routine medical admissions.
Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Florida hospitals missing from the list either don't perform copd in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 190 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
