You're looking at a hospital without publicly posted procedure prices, which means you'll need to call their billing department directly to get an estimate for your specific procedure before you decide whether to go here. That extra step is worth it — knowing the gross charges your insurance will see and the cash price discount (if you're self-pay) is how you actually compare this hospital to others nearby. Novant Health New Hanover has posted nearly $56 million in charity care, which signals financial assistance exists if you qualify by income, so it's worth asking billing whether you might be eligible when you call for your price estimate.
Before you schedule, call Novant Health New Hanover's billing department and ask them directly: What are the gross charges and cash price for your specific procedure? Then call one or two other hospitals in Wilmington with the same question so you can compare actual numbers. If cost is a concern, ask the billing representative about financial assistance programs and what income threshold qualifies you — many people don't realize they're eligible until they ask.

Every price below is published by Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center in their federally mandated machine-readable file. Click any procedure to compare with nearby hospitals. Prices as of Mar 2026.
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.
