Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital

South Boston, VA · Sentara Health · Nonprofit

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.

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.
