Is the Minneriya National Park Entrance Fee Separate from the Jeep Cost?

Sometimes, yes. In most cases, park entry and a safari jeep are sold as two separate items. A few Minneriya operators bundle them into one price that covers both. Read your quote closely. Make sure you know if the park entrance fee is already in the total.

The jeep charge covers the vehicle and the safari guide or service. The admission fee lets you enter the protected national park.

That difference is why you might see one company advertise a cheap jeep rate. Another company may show a higher overall package cost.

When you look at options, compare the same things. Do not match a jeep-only price against a package that includes park entry, pickup, and other charges unless you add the missing costs first.
