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 out of pocket for this CT head scan in Norfolk, shop carefully — prices vary nearly five times over, from about $493 to $2,413. Sentara Leigh Hospital and Sentara Norfolk General both charge $1,328 for a cash price, which is close to the median here and roughly 25 percent less than Virginia's average. Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters charges significantly more at $2,413 if you're an adult patient (call first to confirm they see adults). Before you schedule anywhere, call the billing department and ask for the exact cash price for a CT head without contrast, since even within the same health system prices can differ by location.
Once you have a few quotes, ask each hospital whether they offer financial assistance — many people qualify without realizing it, especially if you're uninsured or underinsured. Also confirm upfront whether your insurance is accepted and whether the quoted price is truly all-in, with no surprise facility or radiologist fees added later. If cost is your main concern and you have flexibility on timing, the $493 option is worth investigating to see which facility offers it and whether it's available for your schedule.
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 Head 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.
