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
Novant Health Pender Medical Center and NOVANT HEALTH BRUNSWICK MEDICAL CENTER offer the lowest cash prices at $14, while prices more than double at NOVANT HEALTH FORSYTH MEDICAL CENTER and NOVANT HEALTH MEDICAL PARK HOSPITAL at $29—a $15 difference for the identical procedure. A patient choosing the cheapest option at Pender Medical Center over Forsyth Medical Center would save $15 per procedure, with the added benefit that Forsyth's 4-star rating doesn't justify the premium since multiple 4-star facilities (like Brunswick and Matthews) charge $14-$16. The majority of Novant Health facilities cluster between $14-$20, making the $29 outliers poor value propositions regardless of quality ratings.
