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 Virginia Beach 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 a PSA screening in Virginia Beach, and the price range here is unusually wide—you could pay as little as $26 or as much as $113 for the same test depending on which lab you choose. That's more than a four-fold difference, which is worth a phone call to nail down before you schedule. Since this is a straightforward blood test with a quick turnaround, your doctor's office may not have a strong preference about *where* you get it done, which means you have real room to shop around.

Before you book, call your insurance company and ask what they'll actually pay at each lab—sometimes the cheapest cash price isn't your best deal after insurance processes the claim. If you're paying out of pocket, call the lab's billing department directly and confirm the cash price they quote you in writing. Most of these labs can get results back in a few days, so you have time to make a smart choice rather than rushing to the closest option.

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.
