Before you schedule
If you're getting a whole-body PET scan in Roanoke, your cash price could land anywhere from about $4,400 to $8,000 depending on which facility you choose — that's nearly double the lowest option. The median price locally is around $5,945, which means you have a real opportunity to save by calling ahead and asking what each facility's cash price is before you schedule. Since there are only three options in your area, it's worth spending 15 minutes making those calls.
Before you book, call the billing department at each hospital and ask for their cash price for a whole-body PET scan — not the gross charges they bill to insurance, but the actual discount price for self-pay. If your insurance hasn't kicked in yet or your deductible is high, that cash price is what matters. Once you have the three numbers, you can decide which facility makes sense for your budget and whether the price difference is worth traveling a few extra miles.
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 PET Scan Whole Body?"
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.
