Novant Health Matthews Medical Center

Matthews, NC · Novant Health · Nonprofit

Novant Health Matthews Medical Center is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Matthews, NC, part of the Novant Health health system. It publishes prices for 38 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $16 to $5,262. 70.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Anthem insurance, you're looking at significantly lower negotiated rates here than patients with other plans — Anthem pays around $452 per procedure on average, while Aetna patients see bills closer to $1,138, and NC Department of Public Safety plans around $1,849. Your out-of-pocket cost depends entirely on your specific plan's deductible and copay structure, so before you commit to Matthews Medical Center, call your insurance company and ask what you'd owe for your procedure at this facility. The hospital's gross charges run roughly double their cash price (about $1,454 versus $727 on average), which is standard markup, but the real number that matters is what your insurance actually negotiated.

Before scheduling, call the billing department directly and give them your specific procedure and insurance plan; they can tell you your exact out-of-pocket estimate. If cost becomes a barrier, ask whether you qualify for their financial assistance program — they've distributed over $8 million in charity care, though eligibility thresholds aren't publicly listed, so billing can walk you through that too.

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.
