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 an echocardiogram in Norfolk, you could spend anywhere from about $1,460 to $3,920 depending on which hospital you choose — that's nearly triple the lowest price. Sentara Leigh Hospital is right at the median for the area at $2,477, which matches what you'd typically pay across Virginia. The wide spread means you have real savings potential if you're willing to shop, but your specific hospital may not be listed here, so call the billing department and ask for the cash price before you schedule.
Before you book, get a written quote for the cash price at whichever hospital your doctor recommends — don't rely on estimates over the phone. If cost is a barrier, ask the billing department directly whether they offer financial assistance; many people qualify but never apply. You can also ask your doctor whether the procedure can be done at an outpatient facility rather than a full hospital, which sometimes costs less.
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 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.
"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.
