Before you schedule
If you're comparing facet joint injection prices in Virginia Beach, the cash price gap here is real: you could pay anywhere from $1,091 to $1,867 depending on which facility you choose—that's a 70 percent spread. Most providers are clustered at the higher end, so the lower-priced option genuinely stands out. Before you settle on a location based on your insurance network alone, it's worth a 10-minute call to confirm what your specific facility actually charges.
Start by calling the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor referred you to and ask for the cash price for a facet joint injection—get the exact number, not an estimate. If it's toward the higher end of the range and you're uninsured or have a high deductible, ask if they offer a discount for self-pay or financial assistance based on income. Then call the lowest-priced facility to confirm they accept your insurance and can do the procedure on a similar timeline. That comparison takes 20 minutes and could save you $500 to $800.
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.
