Before you schedule

Virginia average $3,352 — prices near Newport News 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 a CT scan that can range from about $2,500 to nearly $5,800 depending on which Newport News facility you choose — that's more than double between the cheapest and most expensive option. The median price in your area is around $3,334, so if you're quoted something near $5,700, you're paying a significant premium for the same imaging. This matters because imaging facilities often have more flexibility on pricing than hospitals do, especially if you're paying cash or have a high deductible.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever facility your doctor recommends and ask directly for their cash price for a CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast. If that price is above $4,000, ask if they offer financial assistance — some facilities have programs that can lower your bill. If your doctor hasn't specified a location, getting quotes from two or three facilities takes 15 minutes and could save you hundreds.

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 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.

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.
