Before you schedule
If you end up in an ER for a moderate-level visit in Roanoke, your cash price could range anywhere from $421 to $1,272 depending on which hospital treats you — that's a threefold difference for the same type of care. Carilion Medical Center, the largest facility here, charges $792 for this visit, which is right at the median and notably below the Virginia average of $1,204. That's meaningful savings if you're uninsured or paying out of pocket.
Before you go to the ER, call Carilion's billing department and ask what their financial assistance program covers — many people qualify for reduced bills based on income and never find out. If you're choosing between ERs and have time to compare, ask each hospital's billing line for their cash price for a moderate-level ER visit so you know what you're walking into. Write down whichever price you get; having it in writing makes negotiating easier if there's a dispute 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.
"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.
