Buchanan General Hospital
Grundy, VA · Nonprofit
Buchanan General Hospital is a 2-star nonprofit hospital in Grundy, VA. It publishes prices for 46 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $9 to $2,200. 80.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, Buchanan General's cash prices are notably low — you're looking at an average of around $558 for the procedures they price publicly. Their gross charges (what they bill to insurance) run about two and a half times that amount, which is typical for hospitals. The bigger question is whether your specific procedure is in their publicly priced list; call their billing department directly and ask for the cash price for what you're scheduled for, since not every service shows up online.
Before you schedule, ask billing if you qualify for their financial assistance program — they've set aside over $50,000 for uninsured and low-income patients, though very few people know to apply. Also confirm what your insurance plan will actually pay them; their rates vary widely by payer, so your out-of-pocket cost depends heavily on which insurance company you have. If cost is your main concern and you have flexibility on timing, it's worth the ten-minute call to get a real estimate before you book.
