Before you schedule
Your cash price for left heart catheterization in Newport News could range anywhere from about $3,500 to $34,500 depending on which hospital you choose — that's nearly a tenfold difference for the same procedure. The median price across the five hospitals here is around $12,850. This kind of variation in a smaller market often reflects differences in what each facility charges uninsured patients or those paying out-of-pocket, so where you schedule matters a lot for your wallet.
Before you book, call the billing department at each hospital on your list and ask specifically for their cash price for left heart catheterization — don't ask about insurance charges, which will be higher and more complicated. Tell them you're comparing costs across town. If you have insurance, also ask whether your plan has negotiated rates that differ from the cash prices, since that gap tells you what your out-of-pocket cost might actually be.
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.
