Before you schedule
The good news is there's no price shopping to do here—every facility in Charlotte charges the same cash price of $72.50 for your hemoglobin A1C test, which is actually slightly higher than the North Carolina average of $67.53. That $5 difference won't change your decision, but it means you're not going to find a bargain by calling around. What matters more is whether your insurance will cover this lab work at all, and whether you'll owe anything out of pocket after your copay or deductible.
Before you schedule, verify your coverage by calling your insurance company directly and asking if hemoglobin A1C testing is covered under your plan and what your out-of-pocket cost will be. If you don't have insurance or it won't cover the test, the $72.50 cash price is straightforward—just confirm the facility can bill you that amount upfront. You can use this test at any of the local providers listed, so pick whichever is most convenient to your doctor's office or your schedule.
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 Hemoglobin A1C?"
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.
