UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center Costs

UVA Health Culpeper Medical Center is a 3-star nonprofit hospital in Culpeper, VA, part of the UVA Health health system. It publishes prices for 88 common procedures, with cash prices ranging from $36 to $49,385. 63.0% of patients rated this hospital 9 or 10 out of 10.

You're looking at a small community hospital with standard quality and safety metrics—nothing better or worse than the national average for mortality and readmission rates. The key thing to know: Culpeper Medical Center's gross charges are about double their cash price, which is normal, but your actual out-of-pocket cost depends heavily on your insurance. If you have Cigna, you're likely paying significantly less than if you're on Anthem or UnitedHealthcare. Your specific procedure may not be in the pricing list here—call the billing department and ask them the cash price and what your insurance will actually pay.

Before you schedule, ask billing for two things: your procedure's cash price and what your insurer's negotiated rate is for it (they can tell you this instantly). If you're uninsured or underinsured, ask about financial assistance—the hospital has a program for people earning up to 200% of the federal poverty line, and they've dedicated significant resources to it. The emergency department here runs about three hours behind on average, so plan accordingly if you need urgent care rather than a scheduled procedure.

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.
