Before you book: three questions that change the price
- Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
- Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
- What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take
- South Lake Hospital, Inc. is the lowest-cost option at $545 - $48 below the median posted price ($593), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $593, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Doctor offices and independent clinics may charge differently from hospitals for the same service and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset. Ask your doctor whether another site is an option.

How where you go changes what you pay for glaucoma laser surgery
The same glaucoma laser surgery bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.
- Facility fee $151–$3,018
- Professional fee $302–$804
Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers
Florida has one of the most fragmented hospital markets in the country - HCA Healthcare (the nation's largest for-profit system, headquartered in Nashville), AdventHealth, BayCare, and dozens of independents compete aggressively in major metros. South Florida prices track higher than the rest of the state, driven by higher wage indices and a larger share of complex specialty care. Rural northern Florida has extensive critical access hospital coverage.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$593 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$119 |
| Out-of-network provider | $1,305+ |
Frequently asked questions: glaucoma laser surgery costs in Florida
How much does a glaucoma laser surgery cost in Florida?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $582, with most facilities between $550 and $1,638 (based on 106 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Florida hospitals run $545–$1,950; outlier facilities above and below that range are left out. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.
Where is the cheapest place to get a glaucoma laser surgery in Florida?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Florida data is South Lake Hospital, Inc. in Clermont at about $545. By metro, Hialeah has the lowest median ($545).
Why is a glaucoma laser surgery so much cheaper at some Florida hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 3× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Florida, the median cash (self-pay) price is $593 versus a median negotiated rate of $2,401 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a glaucoma laser surgery in Florida?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
