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 need a left heart catheterization in Hampton, you're looking at a nearly tenfold price difference depending which hospital you choose—anywhere from about $3,500 to $34,500 for the cash price. That gap is much larger than you'd normally see, which means where you go matters enormously for your out-of-pocket cost. Before you settle on a hospital, call the billing department at your top two or three choices and ask for the cash price for left heart catheterization specifically. Insurance companies negotiate different rates at each facility, so your actual bill depends on both the hospital's charges and your plan—but the cash price gives you a real baseline for comparison.
Once you have those numbers, ask each hospital's financial counselor whether you qualify for financial assistance based on your income. Some hospitals here offer charity care or discounted rates if you're uninsured or underinsured, and you won't know unless you ask. If cost is a real concern, don't pick a hospital based on convenience alone—a $20,000 difference is worth a short drive.
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 Left Heart Catheterization?"
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.
