Novant Health Ballantyne Medical Center is a nonprofit hospital in Charlotte, NC, part of the Novant Health health system. It publishes prices for 44 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $16 to $2,820. 80.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you have Anthem insurance, this facility's negotiated rates are notably lower than what other major insurers pay here—about half what Aetna and Humana patients are charged. That's worth confirming before you schedule. If you're uninsured or self-pay, the average cash price here is around $915, and they've provided significant charity care (over $750,000 last year), so if cost is a barrier, financial assistance may be available to you.
Before scheduling, call the billing department and ask for the cash price and gross charges for your specific procedure—the prices listed here are averages, and yours may differ. Also ask whether you qualify for financial assistance if you're uninsured or underinsured; don't assume you won't.
