Before you schedule

North Carolina average $2,611 — prices near High Point are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

If you're getting an echocardiogram in High Point, know that prices here run about 70% higher than the state average—you'll see cash prices ranging from around $1,180 to $1,815 depending on where you go. High Point Regional Health System quotes $1,497 for cash pay, which is closer to the middle of that range. The wider-than-usual spread means calling ahead to confirm the exact price for your test matters more than usual; don't assume all eight facilities in town will quote you the same amount.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor prefers and ask for the cash price for your complete echocardiogram—get it in writing if possible. If you have insurance, also ask what your out-of-pocket cost would be after your deductible and copay, since that may differ from the cash price. Because there aren't many alternatives nearby, confirming the price upfront keeps you from being surprised by a higher bill later.

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.

1

"What is your cash price for Echocardiogram Complete?"

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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
