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.

The hospital has a 4-star rating, so you're not sacrificing quality for the savings. Before you book anywhere else in the area, call Sentara's billing department and confirm that $1,933 price applies to your specific knee MRI, since imaging procedures can sometimes have add-ons.
Once you've confirmed the price at Sentara, get a quote from at least one other facility on your list — it takes five minutes and could save you hundreds. Ask whether they offer a discount if you pay in full upfront or at the time of service. If cost is tight, ask Sentara's financial assistance team if you qualify; hospitals often have programs they don't advertise.
