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.

Before you schedule
If you're paying cash for a chest CT in Alexandria, where you get it matters enormously — prices range from about $650 to $3,600 for the same scan. INOVA Alexandria Hospital and INOVA Mount Vernon Hospital both charge $651.50, which is well below the state average of $1,467 and the local median of $958. That's a real savings opportunity. Alexandria Hospital also has slightly better patient ratings (70% versus 67%), so you're not trading quality for the lower price.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever INOVA location is more convenient and confirm that $651.50 cash price — mention you're self-paying and ask them to lock it in. If you have insurance, ask whether your plan has negotiated rates at either location, since the cash price doesn't apply once insurance is involved. If cost is your main concern and you're uninsured, ask about financial assistance programs; nonprofit hospitals often have them available even if they're not advertised.
