If you're looking at Carolinas Medical Center-Northeast for your procedure, here's what matters most: their gross charges run about 2.3 times higher than their cash price, which is steeper than many hospitals but normal for this region. You'll save real money if you can pay out of pocket—their average cash price is around $644 for the procedures we have priced. Because we only have pricing for a moderate range of procedures here, your specific surgery may not be in our data—call their billing department and ask for the cash price quote before you schedule.
Before you decide, do three things: first, ask billing whether you qualify for their charity care program (they've set aside over $24 million for patients who can't pay), since eligibility isn't always obvious and many people miss it; second, confirm your insurance will cover the procedure there rather than assume it will; and third, get a written cash price quote so you can compare it to other hospitals nearby if you want options.

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.
