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
When you arrive at a Chesapeake ER for a high-acuity visit, your out-of-pocket cost could range from about $910 to $2,375 depending on which hospital you use—that's a 2.6x difference. If you have time to choose (which is rare in a true emergency), this variation matters: paying $910 versus $2,375 for the same level of care is a real financial decision. Chesapeake General's cash price of $1,606 falls in the middle of that range and is higher than the lowest option available to you in this area.
Before you go, call your insurance company and ask what your actual copay or coinsurance will be for an ER visit at Chesapeake General—your out-of-pocket amount depends entirely on your plan, not the hospital's sticker price. If you're uninsured or paying cash, call Chesapeake General's billing department right now and ask for their cash price (mention you're self-pay), then compare it to the lowest-cost option in your area to see if the difference is worth traveling for.
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.

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?"
