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 60 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $7 to $5,009. 65.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield, you're likely paying significantly less than patients with Aetna or Cigna — we're talking roughly $750 versus $2,100 for comparable procedures. That's a real gap worth understanding before you schedule. Your specific procedure may not be in our pricing data, so call Novant's billing department and ask them directly: "What's the negotiated rate my insurance pays for [procedure name], and what's the cash price if I self-pay?" The difference between what your insurer negotiates and the sticker price (roughly double in this hospital's case) won't affect your bill, but it explains why shopping around still matters depending on your plan.

Before you book, also ask about financial assistance if cost is a concern — Novant has a substantial charity care program. You don't need to volunteer that you're uninsured or low-income; just ask the billing team whether you'd qualify and what the application looks like. If you're paying out of pocket, confirm the cash price in writing, since that's your actual bottom line. Once you have those numbers, you'll know whether this hospital or another one in Charlotte makes sense for your situation.

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.
