Before you schedule
A PSA screening in Norfolk ranges from about $26 to $113 cash price depending where you go — that's a gap wide enough that calling around for quotes is worth your time. Most places charge around $86 for this test, but if you find one of the cheaper options, you could save $60 compared to the priciest facility. Since this is a straightforward lab test with a quick turnaround, there's no medical reason to pick the most expensive provider.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever facility is most convenient and ask the cash price for a PSA screening — don't assume it matches what you see online, and ask if they have financial assistance if cost is a real barrier. If that price is over $90, spend 15 minutes calling one or two other labs in the area to compare; the savings could easily cover the phone call.
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 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.
"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.
