Petersburg, VA · Bon Secours Mercy Health · For-profit
Bon Secours Southside Medical Center is a 1-star for-profit hospital in Petersburg, VA, part of the Bon Secours Mercy Health health system. It publishes prices for 91 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $14 to $54,666. 64.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you're uninsured or self-pay, Bon Secours Southside's average cash price of around $9,100 for common procedures is roughly what you'd negotiate down to if you called their billing department and asked directly — their gross charges run about 2.7 times higher, which is typical for hospitals. The real issue: only 64% of patients rated this hospital positively, and its one-star quality rating suggests you should compare outcomes with other options in your area before committing. If you do choose Southside, ask whether you qualify for their charity care program (they've set aside over $3.5 million); eligibility thresholds aren't published online, but billing can tell you in one call if your income makes you eligible for discounts.
Before you schedule, call Bon Secours Southside's billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure — it may differ from the $9,100 average. If you have UnitedHealthcare, Humana, or Aetna, your negotiated rate will be substantially lower (around $4,400–$5,400), so check your plan's cost estimate first. Finally, given the low patient satisfaction scores, spend 15 minutes online or on the phone comparing this hospital's quality ratings with competitors closer to you — that will matter more for your outcome than the price difference.
