Before you schedule

North Carolina average $1,184 — prices near Charlotte are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

If you're comparing carotid duplex scan prices in Charlotte, here's what matters: all four hospitals in the area charge the same cash price of $691, which is slightly higher than the state average of $653. This means there's no price-shopping advantage — you won't save money by calling around. What you *should* do is confirm whether your insurance will cover this scan fully, since the gross charges billed to insurance vary by hospital even when cash prices don't. Call your insurer first with the procedure name, then ask your doctor's office which hospital they prefer — that clinical preference matters more than price in this case.

Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and ask two things: whether your specific insurance plan has in-network pricing that's better than the $691 cash rate, and whether they offer financial assistance if you're uninsured or underinsured. Even if the upfront answer is no, billing can sometimes apply retroactive discounts. Ask for a written estimate once your insurance eligibility is confirmed — that protects you from surprise bills.

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.

1

"What is your cash price for Carotid Duplex Scan?"

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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
