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

Best value Carilion Rockbridge Community Hospital — $78 3★ CMS rating
You could save $212 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $110 — prices near Roanoke are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

If you're getting an A1C test in Roanoke, your cash price could range anywhere from $83 to $290 depending on which lab you use — that's more than three times the difference between the cheapest and most expensive option. Since this is a straightforward blood test your doctor likely orders routinely, you have real leverage to shop around and potentially save $200 or more. The median price here is $98, so if you see anything much higher than that, it's worth calling another lab to compare.

Before you schedule, call your doctor's office and ask which labs they can send your order to — you don't need a specific facility, just the test itself. Then call the billing department at two or three labs in town and ask for their cash price for the A1C test. Once you know your options, pick the lowest one and confirm they can receive your order directly from your doctor. You'll likely pay at the time of the visit, so bring a card or ask about their payment options.

3

"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.
