If you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, Atrium Health Union's cash price averages around $644, which is roughly half their gross charges to insurance companies—a normal markup, but worth knowing if you're comparing self-pay options in the Monroe area. The hospital also spent nearly $12 million on charity care last year, so if your income is tight, ask their financial assistance office whether you qualify for a discount or payment plan before you pay anything out of pocket.
Before you schedule, call the billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure—yours may differ from the average. Then ask directly about financial assistance: mention your household income, and ask if you're eligible for reduced or free care.

What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.
