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
You're looking at joint injections in Chesapeake, and there's something important to know before you call around: the cash prices here swing wildly — from under $17 to over $500 for the same procedure. That 30-fold difference means where you choose matters enormously for your out-of-pocket cost, especially if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. Most facilities cluster around the $500 mark, but at least one is pricing it dramatically lower, so your first job is finding out which one and whether they're in your insurance network.
Before you schedule anywhere, call the billing department at each hospital on your list and ask for the cash price for a joint injection — specify which joint if you know it. Then check whether that facility is in-network for your insurance plan, since that $17 facility might not be covered. If you don't have insurance or your deductible is high, ask directly about financial assistance; some hospitals here may offer it but won't volunteer the information.
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 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.
