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.

Before you schedule
You're looking at a cardiac CT calcium score in Arlington, and here's what matters most: the cash price for this test can swing wildly—from $70 to over $1,500 depending where you go. That's not a small difference. Most hospitals in the area charge around $364 for a self-pay price, but because the range is so wide, the hospital you choose could cut your out-of-pocket cost in half or cost you significantly more. Before you book anywhere, call the billing department at your top two or three choices and ask specifically: "What's your cash price for a cardiac CT calcium score if I pay upfront?" Write down the exact number each one quotes you.
Once you have those prices, ask one more question: whether they offer a payment plan if you can't pay the full amount that day. Some hospitals will also reduce their price further if your household income falls below a certain threshold—ask about that too. Since you have nine facilities to choose from in Arlington, you have real leverage here to find the best price before your appointment gets scheduled.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Heart Calcium Score (Cardiac CT)?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
