Before you schedule
If you're self-paying for this CT scan, you have real leverage in Chesapeake—cash prices for this procedure swing from about $2,500 to nearly $5,800, so where you go matters. Chesapeake General Hospital is at the lower end of that range at $2,499, which is actually close to what hospitals across Virginia charge on average. Before you schedule anywhere, call the billing department and ask specifically for the cash price for a CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast—don't accept a quote without those exact details, because some facilities may bundle or code it differently.
Once you have a few quotes in writing, ask each hospital's financial counselor whether you qualify for financial assistance based on your household income—especially if you're uninsured or underinsured. Even though Chesapeake General is competitively priced, it's worth a five-minute call to confirm they honor that lower quote, and to understand what your insurance will actually cover before you arrive.
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 CT Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast?"
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.

These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
