If you're paying out of pocket for a screening mammogram in Charlotte, you're looking at a range of just $182.50 to $188 across the hospitals with posted prices—so there's essentially no difference to shop for. This is one of the few procedures where competition hasn't driven major price variation, which works in your favor. All three facilities with transparent pricing are Novant Health centers, so your choice comes down to location and patient experience rather than cost.

Before you schedule, call your insurance company to confirm whether screening mammography is fully covered under preventive care—most plans cover it at no cost to you, which would make the out-of-pocket price irrelevant. If you do need to pay, ask which Novant location is closest to you; the Mint Hill and Ballantyne centers both have higher patient satisfaction scores (81 and 80 percent) than Presbyterian (65 percent), which might matter for your comfort during the appointment.

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 Screening Mammography?"

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.
