Novant Health Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital
Charlotte, NC · Novant Health
Novant Health Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital is a hospital in Charlotte, NC, part of the Novant Health health system. It publishes prices for 43 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $15 to $2,820.
If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield, your negotiated rate here averages around $504 — well below the $780 cash price — so your out-of-pocket cost will likely depend on your deductible and coinsurance. If you have Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, or Humana, their negotiated rates run $1,574 to $2,279, which is substantially higher than the cash price. That's unusual and worth checking your actual coverage details with your insurance company before you schedule, since you might be better off paying cash for some procedures. We have pricing on about 30 to 50 procedures here, so your specific orthopedic surgery may or may not be listed — call the billing department and ask for the gross charges and cash price for your exact procedure code.
Before you schedule, ask billing three things: first, confirm the all-in cash price for your procedure; second, ask what your insurance's contracted rate is (don't rely on our average); and third, ask whether they offer financial assistance if you're uninsured or underinsured. Once you have those numbers, you can calculate what you'll actually owe and compare this hospital to others in Charlotte if your deductible is high.

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.
