If you have Humana insurance, your out-of-pocket costs here will likely be noticeably lower than with other major plans—Sentara Virginia Beach General negotiates rates around $1,361 with Humana versus $2,300–$2,675 with Anthem, Cigna, or Carefirst. The hospital's mortality rate is better than the national average, which is a genuine quality signal. If you're uninsured or underinsured, the hospital has substantial financial assistance available and extends it to households earning up to 300% of the federal poverty line—most people don't know to ask, so call their financial counselors before your procedure.

Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and confirm the gross charges and your insurance company's negotiated rate for your specific procedure. If you don't have insurance or your coverage is thin, ask directly about financial assistance eligibility—with $9 million in charity care annually, they have money set aside for this.

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.
