Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center Costs & Price List

Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Winston-Salem, NC, part of the Novant Health health system. It publishes prices for 53 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $19 to $5,974. 68.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield, your negotiated rates here are notably lower than what other major insurers pay—you're looking at around $658 per procedure on average compared to $1,457 to $1,714 for Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna. That's a real advantage if BCBS is your plan. If you're on one of the other major insurers, your out-of-pocket cost will depend entirely on your deductible and coinsurance, so don't assume the higher negotiated rates mean you'll pay more than someone with BCBS—it depends on your specific plan design. The hospital's gross charges run about 70 percent higher than their cash price, which is standard for this region.

Before you schedule, call Novant Health's billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure—that $846 average might not match what yours will cost. If cost is a real concern and you don't have insurance or are underinsured, ask whether you qualify for their charity care program (they've set aside over $57 million annually for it, though eligibility thresholds aren't published online). Get your insurance card handy when you call so you can ask what your actual out-of-pocket responsibility will be based on your plan.

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.
