Before you schedule
If you're facing chemotherapy in Chesapeake, know that the cash prices for your first infusion hour vary dramatically — from around $738 to over $2,000 depending on where you go. That's nearly three times the lowest price, which means your choice of facility could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket, especially if you're paying a portion yourself or don't have insurance coverage for this specific service. Before you schedule, call the billing department at each hospital and ask specifically for the cash price for chemotherapy infusion — the first hour. Don't assume your oncologist's preferred location is your only option, and ask if they can refer you elsewhere if there's a significant price difference.
Your insurance may cover most or all of this, but your copay or deductible applies regardless, so getting the actual facility charge matters to your wallet. Also ask each hospital about financial assistance programs for cancer patients — many have them and don't advertise widely. If cost is tight, mention that to your oncology team; they often know which facilities are more flexible on billing or have stronger support programs.
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 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.
"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.
