Before you schedule
If you're getting a CT chest with contrast in Hampton, you're looking at prices that swing nearly 2.3 times from low to high—that's $1,352 to $3,104 depending on where you go. Sentara CarePlex, which is where many people in the area default to, charges $1,780 for the cash price (what you'd pay uninsured or out-of-pocket), which is right around the local median. That's actually close to the Virginia state average, so you're not being overcharged there—but you could still save $400–$1,300 if you shop around. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive option in Hampton is real money, and it's worth a few phone calls before you schedule.
Before you book, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor prefers and confirm the cash price for a CT chest with contrast—don't assume it's the posted rate. If your insurance is covering most of it, ask your insurer what your out-of-pocket will actually be after their negotiated rate kicks in, because that matters more than the cash price. If you're uninsured or exploring self-pay, ask directly about payment plans; many hospitals will work with you to spread the cost over a few months.
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.
"What is your cash price for CT Chest 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.
"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.
"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.
