Sentara Norfolk General Hospital

Norfolk, VA · Sentara Health · Nonprofit

Sentara Norfolk General Hospital is a 3-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. 75.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

If you have Sentara Health Plan insurance, your costs here will be dramatically lower than patients with Anthem or UnitedHealthcare — you're looking at roughly $2,000 per procedure versus $8,000–$10,000 for those plans. This matters because Norfolk is a single-hospital market, so you can't shop around; knowing your plan's negotiated rate tells you whether you're getting a good deal or whether calling other hospitals in nearby cities (like Portsmouth or Virginia Beach) is worth the drive. Ask your insurance company which exact rate applies to your procedure before you schedule.

Before you book, call Sentara Norfolk's billing department and ask for both the gross charges and cash price for your specific procedure — the cash discount is typically around 50 percent, which could matter if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. Also confirm that your procedure is actually priced on their public list; if it's not listed, billing can give you a quote over the phone. Three-star rating is middle-of-the-road, so if you have flexibility, comparing quality reviews on Medicare.gov alongside your insurance rate will help you decide if this is the right fit.

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.
