Carilion New River Valley Medical Center

Christiansburg, VA · Carilion Clinic · Nonprofit

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 69 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $16 to $25,624. 69.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Humana or UnitedHealthcare, Carilion New River Valley's negotiated rates with those insurers are roughly half of what Anthem pays—which means your out-of-pocket costs could differ dramatically depending on your plan. Before you schedule, call your insurer's customer service and ask what Carilion New River Valley charges for your specific procedure under your plan; that number matters far more than any average. The hospital's gross charges run about 70 percent higher than their cash price (which averages around $2,400), so if you're uninsured and qualify for financial assistance, it's worth asking—they've spent nearly $2 million on charity care annually.

Ask the hospital billing department three things: first, your exact out-of-pocket cost under your insurance plan for this procedure; second, whether you qualify for their financial assistance program if cost is a concern; and third, the cash price if you wanted to self-pay. The hospital has extensive pricing data available, so they can give you real numbers before you commit. Quality-wise, outcomes here match national rates, so safety isn't a distinguishing factor—your choice should come down to cost fit and convenience for your situation.

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.
