Data Note(s)

Data Source: Florida Agency for Health Care Administration

  • Commercial insurance payors are publicly traded insurance companies: examples include UnitedHealth, Aetna, or Humana.

  • Medicaid Insurance is a government-funded health insurance program that provides free or low-cost health coverage to some low-income people, families and children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

  • Medicare Insurance is federal health insurance for anyone age 65 and older, and some people under 65 with certain disabilities or conditions.

  • Self-pay or under insured is when a patient pays for their medical bill directly, rather than using insurance or another third-party payer. This can apply to patients who are uninsured, or to those who have insurance but choose to pay for certain services themselves.

  • Other Insurance Payor refers to any other insurance payor excluding commercial, Medicaid, Medicare, or self-pay/under insured.

  • Hospital and emergency department visit data in these reports do not include Veteran Affairs (VA) and other federal hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and psychiatric hospitals.
