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

If you're getting a CT angiography of your chest in Virginia Beach, you're looking at a cash price range from about $1,227 to $4,195 — that's more than a threefold difference for the same imaging test. Where you schedule matters enormously. You'll want to call the billing departments at two or three of the seven hospitals in your area and ask specifically for the cash price for a chest CT angiography, then compare. If your insurance will cover it, ask each hospital what your out-of-pocket responsibility would be, since their contracts with insurers vary.

Before you schedule anywhere, confirm whether your doctor's order mentions any specific contrast requirement or timing that might limit which hospitals you can use. Once you've narrowed down by location and your doctor's needs, ask the billing department if they offer payment plans or discounts for upfront cash payment — some hospitals will reduce the price further if you pay before your appointment. If cost is a concern, mention it directly; some facilities have financial assistance for people below a certain income threshold.

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.
