Chesapeake General Hospital is a 3-star local government hospital in Chesapeake, VA. It publishes prices for 55 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $14 to $3,989. 67.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

Chesapeake General's prices vary wildly depending on your insurance plan—if you have Aetna, they'll bill around $957 for a typical procedure, but Cigna patients see bills closer to $5,300 for the same work. Before you schedule, call their billing department and ask what they contract with your specific insurance plan. That number matters far more than the hospital's average.

The hospital does have a substantial charity care program, so if cost becomes a barrier, ask billing whether you qualify based on your income; many eligible people skip that step. Otherwise, confirm your exact out-of-pocket costs before your procedure by calling your insurance company directly with the hospital's quote.
