High Point Regional Health System charges $1,432 for this visit, which is toward the higher end locally and above North Carolina's typical cash price of about $812. If cost matters to your decision, it's worth asking whether any nearby hospitals (even 20–30 minutes away) offer lower rates.

Before you head to the ER or decide where to go, call High Point Regional's billing department and ask for the cash price for a Level 4 ER visit—confirm they quote you $1,432 or less. If you don't have insurance or are uninsured, ask directly whether they offer financial assistance; many people qualify but never ask.

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 4 (High)?"

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?"

3

These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
