Before you schedule
You're looking at carotid duplex scans in Richmond, and here's what matters most: the cash prices for this ultrasound vary wildly—from around $350 to $3,600—which means where you schedule could change your out-of-pocket cost by thousands. That 10-fold difference isn't because some hospitals are better at the scan; it's usually because their gross charges (what they bill insurance) are dramatically different, and cash discounts don't always shrink that gap proportionally. Before you pick a hospital, you need to know your specific price, not just the range.
Call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor refers you to and ask for the cash price for a carotid duplex scan. If it's above $2,000, ask if they have a financial assistance program—many do, and you might qualify without knowing it. If the price feels high, ask for the names and numbers of the other hospitals offering this scan in Richmond and call them too. You have time to shop, and a five-minute call could save you real money.
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.
