Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center

Charlotte, NC · Novant Health · Nonprofit

Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Charlotte, NC, part of the Novant Health health system. It publishes prices for 59 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $16 to $5,262. 65.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Anthem insurance, Presbyterian's rates for your procedure will likely be significantly lower than what UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, or state employee plans pay there — Anthem's average negotiated rate is around $523 compared to $1,000–$1,700 for other plans. That's worth knowing before you schedule, since your out-of-pocket costs depend partly on what your insurer has negotiated. The hospital's gross charges run about double their cash price (which averages just over $1,000), a standard markup but important to understand if you're uninsured or considering self-pay.

Before you book, call Presbyterian's billing department and confirm the negotiated rate for your specific procedure under your plan — don't assume the hospital's average applies to you. If cost is a real concern, ask about financial assistance; the hospital reports over $40 million in annual charity care, though eligibility isn't published online, so a direct conversation with billing is your fastest path forward.

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.
