J Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital

Southport, NC · Nonprofit

J Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital is a nonprofit hospital in Southport, NC. It publishes prices for 94 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $16 to $21,483. 85.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

That matters most for your decision: if your procedure is something that could wait or be done at an outpatient center closer to home, it might be worth checking what's available in nearby towns. If Dosher is genuinely your closest option, their patient satisfaction rating of 85 percent is solid, and their safety outcomes match the national average, so you're not trading quality for convenience.

Before you schedule, call their billing department and ask for the cash price of your specific procedure—you'll likely get a discount of roughly 50 percent off their gross charges, which is standard. Also ask whether you qualify for their charity care program; they've set aside over $900,000 annually for patients who can't afford their bills, though you'll need to apply. If you have insurance, confirm your out-of-pocket cost with your plan before the appointment.

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.
