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 walk into an ER for a high-level visit in Hampton, what you pay can swing from around $910 to $2,370 depending on which hospital you choose — that's nearly three times the difference. Sentara CarePlex Hospital sits at the lower end at $909.50 for a cash price, which is also well below the Virginia state average of $1,714. If you're uninsured or weighing self-pay against your deductible, this matters: the choice of hospital could save you over $1,400.
Before you go to the ER or schedule a non-emergency high-level visit, call Sentara CarePlex's billing department and confirm their cash price for this specific visit level — prices can shift, and you want to lock in what you'll actually owe if you're paying out of pocket. If cost is a real barrier, also ask if they have financial assistance; eligibility is often higher than people expect, and you can apply after care if needed.
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?"
