You mean what they pay on behalf of the employees who work for them?
My father works for the federal government, I know he has the federal insurance program through Blue Cross. I can ask him what his premium is and get back to you.
Or did you mean what Medicare pays the hospital on behalf of people enrolled in Medicare?
I know for our hospitals, it works out to 42% less than what commercial insurance companies pay us on behalf of their patients.
