Inova Alexandria Hospital

Alexandria, VA · Inova Health System · Nonprofit

Inova Alexandria Hospital is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Alexandria, VA, part of the Inova Health System health system. It publishes prices for 60 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $10 to $18,773. 70.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you're comparing prices across Northern Virginia hospitals, Inova Alexandria's gross charges typically run about double their cash price—that's fairly standard for the region, so don't expect to save dramatically by shopping around locally. What matters more here is that this hospital performs better than the national average on mortality and readmission rates, which means your specific procedure is likely to go smoothly and you're less likely to need a return visit. That's harder to find in a price list and harder to quantify, but it's real.

Before you schedule, call the billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure—don't rely on the average we show here, since yours may cost more or less. Also ask whether you qualify for their financial assistance program; they spent over $23 million on charity care last year, but the threshold for eligibility isn't published, so it's worth a direct question. If cost is a real concern, that conversation could change what you actually owe.

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.
