Direct answer: Yes. HCA Florida describes it as a freestanding emergency department open 24 hours and an extension of HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital's emergency services.

Short answer: HCA Florida Haines City Emergency is an emergency department
If you have employer or Marketplace coverage, the federal No Surprises Act generally limits what you pay for emergency services to your network cost-sharing, even at an out-of-network facility. Follow-up care and planned visits depend on your plan's network.

Medicare Part B usually covers emergency department services. You pay a copayment per visit and per hospital service, plus 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for doctor services after the Part B deductible. If admitted to the same hospital for a related condition within 3 days, the ED copayments don't apply. Ask the hospital whether a visit to this freestanding department counts as the same hospital for this rule.
Freestanding ER vs. urgent care: why the bill can differ
Ask for a good faith estimate when you can; for emergency care, ask for an itemized bill afterward and ask about financial assistance. CMS's medical-bill help line is 1-800-985-3059.
The No Surprises Act (in effect January 1, 2022) protects people with employer, Marketplace, or other individual coverage from surprise out-of-network bills for emergency care, including at independent freestanding emergency departments; you can't be charged more than network cost-sharing for emergency services.
If you don't have or use insurance, providers usually must give a good faith estimate when you schedule at least 3 business days ahead or ask; you may be able to dispute a bill that is at least $400 over the estimate. CMS help line: 1-800-985-3059.
For a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. After you are stabilized, follow-up and planned care can follow different plan rules than the emergency visit.
If you do not have or do not use insurance, federal rules generally require a good faith estimate when you schedule at least three business days ahead or ask. You may be able to dispute a bill that is at least $400 over the estimate. CMS help line: 1-800-985-3059.
