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
If you're scheduling ESWL for a kidney stone in Roanoke, your out-of-pocket cost depends heavily on which hospital you choose — the cash price ranges from about $15,000 to $22,600, meaning the most expensive option could cost you $7,500 more than the least expensive one. That's a real difference, especially if you're paying partially or fully out of pocket or have a high deductible. Most hospitals in your area cluster around the lower end, so you have a genuine opportunity to save by asking the right questions upfront.
Call the billing department at whichever hospital your urologist recommends and ask for their cash price for ESWL — don't assume your insurance quote is final. If cost is a major factor, ask if they offer financial assistance or payment plans; some do for patients who qualify. Get the exact figure in writing before you schedule, so there are no surprises when you arrive.
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 ESWL Shockwave Lithotripsy?"
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.
