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 shopping for a facet joint injection in Newport News, the cash price you'll see quoted can swing from around $1,090 to $1,867 depending on where you go — that's a difference of nearly $800 for the same procedure. Since this is an outpatient injection, you have real flexibility to choose based on price, especially if you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible. Call the billing departments at each facility and ask specifically for the cash price for your facet joint injection; don't accept a gross charge quote (the inflated number billed to insurance), because that's not what you'd actually owe.
Before you book, ask each hospital whether they offer financial assistance if cost is a barrier — many people qualify but don't know to ask. Also confirm that your doctor can perform the injection at your chosen location; some doctors have privileges at only one or two hospitals in the area. Getting these three answers — exact cash price, financial assistance eligibility, and doctor availability — takes 20 minutes and could save you hundreds.
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 Facet Joint Injection?"
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.
