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

Virginia average $5,230 — prices near Norfolk are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

If you're scheduling a prostate biopsy in Norfolk, here's what stands out: all five hospitals in the area are pricing their cash rates identically at $2,419. This uniformity is unusual and suggests you won't save money by shopping around on price alone — your choice should focus instead on which facility and urologist you trust most, or whether your insurance coverage differs meaningfully between them. Call your insurance company now to confirm your copay and deductible responsibility at each hospital, since that's where your actual out-of-pocket cost will be determined.

Before you book, contact the billing department at your preferred hospital and confirm they'll honor the $2,419 cash price if you're uninsured or paying out-of-pocket, and ask whether they offer financial assistance if cost is a concern. If insurance is covering it, ask your doctor which facility has the urologist you'll be working with — that relationship matters more than price shopping in this case.

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.

1

"What is your cash price for Prostate Biopsy?"

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.

2

"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.

3

"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.

Prostate Biopsy costs between $2,419 and $12,317 at 7 facilities near Norfolk, Virginia. The Virginia statewide average is $5,230.
