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 54 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $26 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.
