Before you schedule

Best value Sentara Princess Anne Hospital — $86 4★ CMS rating
You could save $27 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $120 — prices near Chesapeake 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

You're looking at PSA screening prices in Chesapeake, and the range is wide enough to matter: the lowest cash price is $25.80 while the highest is $112.65 for the same test. That's a 4.4x difference, which means your out-of-pocket cost could swing by nearly $90 depending on where you go. If your insurance covers PSA screening, your copay or coinsurance won't change much — but if you're uninsured or using a Health Savings Account, this spread is real money worth ten minutes of phone calls.

Before you schedule, call the lab or billing department at your preferred hospital and ask for the cash price specifically for PSA screening. If cost is your main concern and you have flexibility on location, ask about the lowest-price option nearby — some labs are staffed by the same providers and use the same equipment, so you're not sacrificing quality by choosing based on price. If you're uninsured, ask about sliding-scale fees or financial assistance when you call; some facilities adjust charges based on income.

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 PSA Prostate Screening?"

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.
