Before you schedule
If you're scheduling a carotid duplex scan in Chesapeake, your cash price could range from $854 to $1,121 depending on which hospital you choose — that's a $267 difference for the exact same test. Most hospitals in your area cluster near the lower end of that range, so you have a real opportunity to save money if you call ahead and ask for the cash price before scheduling. Your insurance will likely cover this scan, but if you're uninsured or have a high deductible, knowing the cash price upfront lets you shop for the better deal.
Before you book, call the billing department at your doctor's preferred hospital and ask for the cash price specifically for a carotid duplex scan — don't accept a range or estimate. If that price is above $900, ask if they offer financial assistance or a payment plan, since you qualify even if you have insurance. Then do the same call at one other hospital nearby so you can actually compare. This scan doesn't require special equipment, so quality won't vary much — price is the real decision-maker here.
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 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.
"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.
