What this price typically doesn't include

Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:

  • Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
  • Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
  • Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
  • Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
  • Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient

Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

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

Your CT angiography chest scan is priced almost identically across Charlotte — all six hospitals in the area charge $1,731.50 as their cash price, which is essentially the same as the North Carolina average. This means you won't save money by shopping around locally, but it also means you can choose based on convenience, reputation, or which hospital your doctor prefers without worrying about a hidden price difference. The consistency here actually works in your favor because you know exactly what to expect.

Before you schedule, call the hospital billing department and confirm that $1,731.50 is their actual cash price for your specific scan (chest CT angiography), not a placeholder. Ask whether that price includes the radiologist's fee for reading the images, and whether your insurance is likely to cover it — if so, find out your copay or coinsurance instead. If you don't have insurance or are uninsured, ask directly about financial assistance programs; many hospitals have them but don't advertise them unless you ask.

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 Angiography Chest?"

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.
