Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital is a 3-star nonprofit hospital in South Boston, VA, part of the Sentara Health health system. It publishes prices for 60 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $4 to $11,976. 71.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Anthem insurance, your out-of-pocket costs here could be significantly higher than with other plans — Anthem's negotiated rates at this hospital average nearly four times what UnitedHealthcare or Sentara's own plan pays for the same procedures. Before you schedule, call your insurance company to ask what they'll actually pay for your specific procedure at Sentara Halifax, and compare that to a nearby facility if one's available. The cash price (uninsured) averages around $1,027, which gives you a baseline for negotiating if you're paying out of pocket.

Here's what to do next: call Sentara Halifax billing and ask for the cash price for your exact procedure — don't rely on averages. Then ask whether you qualify for their financial assistance program (they have one, and you're eligible if your income is below 300% of the federal poverty line). If your insurance is Anthem, also get a quote from another hospital in the region so you can compare what each plan actually negotiates there.
