Before you schedule

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 heading to the ER for a moderate-level visit in High Point, know that what you'll pay as a self-pay patient can vary wildly—anywhere from around $455 to over $1,000 depending on which facility you use. High Point Regional Health System charges $802 as their cash price, which is above the median for the area but still worth understanding upfront since you can shop before going if this isn't truly urgent. Their two-star rating and 64 percent patient satisfaction score suggest you might want to call ahead and ask whether another nearby facility could work for you if you have time to choose.

Before you go (or if you're calling ahead to confirm where to go), ask the billing department for the exact cash price for a Level 3 ER visit and whether they offer payment plans if you can't pay upfront. If cost is a real barrier, ask about financial assistance—even if you have insurance, if your household income is under twice the federal poverty line, you may qualify for help. Get the cash price quote in writing so there's no surprise when the bill comes.

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 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.

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.
