Medical College of Virginia Hospitals

Richmond, VA · VCU Health · Local government

Medical College of Virginia Hospitals is a 4-star local government hospital in Richmond, VA, part of the VCU Health health system. 74.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

Medical College of Virginia Hospitals doesn't publicly post prices for specific procedures, so you won't find their gross charges or cash prices listed online. This is frustrating when you're trying to compare costs, but it's actually common for teaching hospitals. What you can do: call their billing department before scheduling and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure — they're required to give you that number, and it often comes with a meaningful discount compared to what insurance pays.

Your insurance plan matters here. If you have Anthem coverage, you'll likely pay less than someone with Aetna, since Anthem's negotiated rate with this hospital averages around $6,200 while Aetna's is closer to $7,100 for comparable services. Before you schedule, verify your exact out-of-pocket cost by calling your insurance company with the procedure name, then call the hospital's billing office to confirm they accept your plan and what your financial responsibility will be.

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.
