Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $1,227 3★ CMS rating
You could save $1,101 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $2,776 — prices near Norfolk 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 getting a CT angiography of your chest in Norfolk, you're looking at a cash price range of roughly $1,200 to $4,200 depending which hospital you choose — that's a 3.4 times difference for the exact same scan. This wide gap means where you go matters enormously for your out-of-pocket cost. Your insurance company will pay based on their contracted rate, not the sticker price, but if you're uninsured or have a high deductible, picking the lower-cost facility could save you thousands of dollars for the same quality imaging.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask for the cash price for a chest CT angiography — don't rely on their website quote alone, since pricing can vary by exact scan type. Then ask if they offer financial assistance; many people qualify for reduced rates based on income even if they have insurance. Once you know the actual cash price, compare it to the other imaging centers in Norfolk to see if a switch makes sense for your wallet.

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.
