Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $2,320 3★ CMS rating
You could save $580 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $3,219 — prices near Virginia Beach 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

If you're paying out of pocket for this CT scan, your price will swing between roughly $2,300 and $5,100 depending on which Virginia Beach facility you choose—that's more than double the lowest price for the same test. Sentara Virginia Beach General and Sentara Princess Anne both charge $2,900.50, which is close to the midpoint and slightly above the state average. Before you book, call the facility's billing department and confirm this is the final cash price for your specific scan, since imaging pricing can vary based on whether contrast or other add-ons are used.

Ask whether your insurance plan has negotiated rates at any of these hospitals that would be cheaper than the cash price—that's often true for imaging. If you don't have insurance or your plan's deductible is very high, request the cash price in writing and ask if they offer financial assistance or a payment plan. Getting this locked in before your appointment takes ten minutes and could save you hundreds dollars.

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 without Contrast?"

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.
