A hospital would rather receive some payment than receive nothing. But, this assumes the care is delivered in an emergent situation. I doubt Shands would provide a significantly reduced payment for an elective procedure. However, even in an elective situation one can usually negotiate a firm price.
Cosmetic procedures come to mind. Many hospitals that perform these procedures have developed (with the docs) a package price which includes combined hospital and physician fees.
