Bon Secours Southern Virginia Medical Center
Emporia, VA · Bon Secours Mercy Health · For-profit
Bon Secours Southern Virginia Medical Center is a for-profit hospital in Emporia, VA, part of the Bon Secours Mercy Health health system. It publishes prices for 56 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $14 to $8,254. 66.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you have UnitedHealthcare, Humana, or Aetna insurance, your out-of-pocket costs at Bon Secours Southern Virginia Medical Center should be roughly half of what the hospital's gross charges look like on paper—those insurers have negotiated rates around $1,040 to $1,100 per procedure on average. The bigger concern here is if you're uninsured or self-paying: their cash price averages about $2,086, but their gross charges run roughly three times higher, so don't let a sticker price shock you into thinking that's what you'll owe. The hospital does set aside charity care funding—roughly $648,000 last year—which means if you qualify based on income, you may owe nothing or significantly less.
Before you schedule, call their billing department and tell them your insurance plan and the specific procedure your doctor recommended. Ask them to give you both the negotiated rate your insurance will pay and the cash price if you decide to self-pay. If you don't have insurance or are underinsured, also ask whether you qualify for their charity care program—eligibility varies, but it's worth asking directly rather than assuming you don't qualify. Since this is a smaller hospital in a rural area, your procedure options may be limited here, so confirm they actually do what you need before comparing prices elsewhere.

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.
