Before you schedule
Right now, if you need an ER visit for something moderate—like a bad cut, chest pain you want checked, or a fever that won't break—the cost in Arlington varies wildly. You could pay as little as $446 at one hospital or as much as $3,149 at another for the same level of care. That's a sevenfold difference, and it matters because your out-of-pocket cost often depends on which ER you walk into.
Before you head to the ER, call your insurance company and ask which Arlington hospitals are in-network—that's your biggest leverage for cost. If you have time and it's not truly urgent, ask your doctor which ER they'd recommend; some hospitals in your area may also have financial assistance programs that could reduce what you owe after the visit. Write down your insurance ID and bring it with you so there's no delay in getting your actual bill estimate.
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 ER Visit Level 3 (Moderate)?"
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.
