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 carotid duplex scan — an ultrasound of the arteries in your neck — and the good news is Norfolk has real price competition for this one. Cash prices range from about $854 to $1,121, which means if you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible, you could save $250 to $300 just by choosing the lower-priced facility. Most Norfolk hospitals are clustering at or near that lower end, so you're not dealing with one outlier charging twice as much.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask specifically for their cash price for a carotid duplex scan — don't just ask "how much does this cost." Then call at least one other hospital on your list and compare. If you have insurance, also ask your insurance company what they'll actually pay after they negotiate their discount; their contracted rate might be much lower than what you'd pay uninsured, which flips your decision-making. Get these numbers before your appointment.
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.
