Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital is a 4-star nonprofit hospital in Virginia Beach, VA, part of the Sentara Health health system. It publishes prices for 60 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $4 to $12,858. 71.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.
If you have Anthem insurance, your procedure at Sentara Virginia Beach General will likely cost you significantly more than with other major insurers — Anthem's negotiated rate here averages nearly $5,700 compared to $2,900–$3,600 for Humana, Cigna, or Carefirst. This hospital's gross charges run about double their cash price, which is standard, but the insurance gap matters more for your out-of-pocket cost. The hospital does offer financial assistance and has spent over $9 million on charity care, so if cost is a real barrier, it's worth asking about even if you're insured.
Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and confirm the exact gross charge and your insurance company's negotiated rate for your specific procedure — what you see here are averages, and your procedure may differ. If you're uninsured or underinsured, ask directly about financial assistance eligibility and what documentation they'll need. You have time to make this call before committing to a date.
