Sentara Leigh Hospital is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Norfolk, VA, part of the Sentara Health health system. It publishes prices for 60 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $4 to $12,858. 76.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you have Anthem or Sentara Health Plan insurance, your negotiated rate here is likely to be significantly lower than what UnitedHealthcare customers pay—Anthem averages around $7,150 while UnitedHealthcare averages near $10,000 for comparable procedures. Check your insurance card to see which plan you're on, because your out-of-pocket costs could swing by thousands depending on your coverage. Sentara Leigh is a nonprofit hospital that did write off over $10 million in charity care last year, though we don't have a clear income threshold for who qualifies—that's worth asking about if cost is a real barrier for you.
Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific procedure—patients without insurance who pay upfront typically get charged about double the lowest negotiated rate, which is standard industry-wide. Also verify exactly what your insurance plan will cover, since the rates vary so widely between carriers. If finances are tight, ask billing directly whether you'd qualify for their financial assistance program and what documentation they need.
