Before you schedule
If you're paying cash for a diagnostic colonoscopy in Norfolk, you're looking at around $1,165 across the hospitals that publish their prices—and that's genuinely good news. You're paying roughly $445 less than the Virginia average for this procedure, which means Norfolk's market is unusually competitive on screening colonoscopies. Both Sentara Leigh and Sentara Norfolk General are quoting the same cash price, so your savings opportunity isn't about shopping between them; it's that you're in a city where this procedure is priced fairly low no matter where you go.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital is most convenient for you and confirm that $1,165 cash price includes everything—the procedure itself, the facility fee, and pathology if a sample is taken. Ask whether your insurance plan has negotiated a lower rate; if you're insured, you might owe less out-of-pocket than the cash price after your deductible and coinsurance. If cost is your main concern and you're uninsured or under-insured, ask directly whether they have financial assistance programs available.
Questions to ask when you call

"What is your cash price for Colonoscopy Diagnostic?"
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.
