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
Your epidural steroid injection prices in Norfolk vary wildly—the cheapest cash option is around $550, but the most expensive is nearly $2,700. That nearly five-fold difference means your choice of facility could save you $1,000 to $2,100 out of pocket, depending on your insurance and what you're actually paying. Before you book anywhere, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask specifically for the cash price for an epidural steroid injection—don't accept an estimate; ask what they actually charge patients who pay out of pocket or have high deductibles.
Once you have that number, compare it to at least one other facility in Norfolk. If your doctor has a preference, ask them why—sometimes there's a clinical reason, sometimes it's just habit, and knowing the difference matters when prices vary this much. If cost is a real barrier, ask the billing department whether the hospital offers financial assistance based on your household income; some do, and you won't know unless you ask directly.
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 Epidural Steroid Injection?"
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.
