Lewisgale Medical Center is a 2-star for-profit hospital in Salem, VA, part of the HCA Virginia health system. It publishes prices for 37 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $81 to $13,740. 57.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you have Optima Health insurance, your out-of-pocket costs here could be substantially higher than with other plans — Optima's negotiated rate at this hospital averages over $10,000 compared to $2,700–$3,700 for other major insurers. Before you schedule, call your insurance company and ask what you'll actually owe for your specific procedure at Lewisgale; the difference between plans is wide enough to matter. The hospital's overall patient satisfaction rating is below average at 57 percent, so this is worth considering alongside price.
Call Lewisgale's billing department directly and ask for the cash price (uninsured discount) for your procedure — it typically runs around $3,900 here, which is significantly less than what most insurers pay. If cost is a barrier, the hospital has a charity care program worth asking about when you call; ask whether you qualify based on your household income. Don't assume your insurance negotiated rate is your final bill — confirm your actual copay or coinsurance before the procedure.
