Before you schedule
You're looking at a CT scan of your chest without contrast in Arlington, and here's what matters most: the price you'll pay can swing from around $650 to over $3,500 depending on which facility you choose — that's a 5.5x difference for the exact same test. Most places in your area charge around $960 in cash, but that wide range means you could save thousands by calling ahead. Before you schedule anywhere, call the imaging department at your top two or three choices and ask for the cash price for a CT chest without contrast — don't rely on their websites, and get a quote in writing so you can compare.
Once you have prices, ask your doctor if any of those facilities meet their requirements (some imaging needs specific equipment). If your insurance is covering it, also ask your insurer what they'll allow as your out-of-pocket cost, since that might differ from the facility's cash price. If cost is tight, mention that to the billing department when you call — some facilities in your area may have financial assistance, and it's worth asking about eligibility before your scan.
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 without 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.
