Before you schedule

North Carolina average $1,658 — 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

You're looking at chemotherapy infusion pricing in Charlotte, and here's what matters most: all three hospitals that publicly list this procedure are charging the same cash price of $406 for the first hour. That uniformity is unusual — it either means these facilities have coordinated pricing or they're all benchmarking to the same standard. Either way, you won't save money by shopping around on price alone in this city. Your real leverage is elsewhere: whether your insurance covers the full cost, whether the facility offers financial assistance if you're uninsured or underinsured, and which hospital your oncologist has the best relationship with for follow-up care.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask three things: what your out-of-pocket cost will be after insurance, whether they have financial assistance programs (many cancer centers do, and eligibility thresholds can surprise you), and if there are any additional facility fees bundled into that first-hour charge. If cost is a barrier, don't assume you don't qualify for help — ask directly about their charity care program before your first 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.

1

"What is your cash price for Chemotherapy Infusion First Hour?"

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.
