Before you schedule
You're looking at a CT scan of your head without contrast, and here's what matters: prices for this scan in Roanoke range from about $814 to nearly $5,900—that's a sevenfold difference depending on where you go. Carilion Medical Center sits right at the median price of $1,369, which is actually below what Virginia averages statewide. If you haven't already gotten a recommendation for where to have this done, price alone shouldn't drive your choice, but knowing Carilion is competitively priced takes one variable off the table.
Before you schedule anywhere, call the billing department and confirm the cash price for your specific scan—imaging can sometimes have add-ons that change the final bill. If you have insurance, also ask whether they've already approved this procedure or if pre-authorization is required; that can affect timing. If cost is tight, ask whether the hospital offers financial assistance based on income, since many people qualify but don't know to ask.
Questions to ask when you call

"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
