Carilion New River Valley Medical Center is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Christiansburg, VA, part of the Carilion Clinic health system. It publishes prices for 63 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $29 to $43,927. 69.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Anthem insurance, your costs at this hospital will likely run significantly higher than with other plans—we're seeing average rates around $2,100 compared to $700–$850 for Humana, UnitedHealthcare, or Sentara Health Plan. That's a real difference in what you'll owe after insurance applies their negotiated rates. The hospital's cash price averages $1,320, so if you're uninsured or considering self-pay, that's your benchmark. The emergency department here typically has a 3.5-hour wait, which matters if your procedure is urgent.

Before you schedule, call the billing department and ask for the cash price specific to your procedure—it may be different from the average. If your household income is under 400% of the federal poverty line (roughly $110,000 for a family of four), ask about their financial assistance program; they've set aside nearly $2 million annually for it, and many eligible people never apply. Then compare that quote to any hospitals within 30 minutes—there aren't many options in this area, but it's worth checking what you'd pay elsewhere for the same procedure.

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.
