Before you schedule
If you're getting a screening mammogram in Newport News, you're looking at cash prices that range from roughly $372 to $750 depending on where you go—that's a meaningful difference when you're paying out of pocket, especially if you're uninsured or haven't hit your deductible yet. Most facilities here charge around $415 in cash, so anything above $500 is worth questioning. The two-fold spread means your choice of hospital could save you $200 or more on the same procedure.
Before you schedule, call the imaging department at your top choice hospital and ask for the cash price for a screening mammogram—don't settle for an estimate range. If cost matters to you, also ask whether they offer any financial assistance or payment plans; many do but won't mention it unless you ask. Once you know your out-of-pocket cost, check what your insurance would actually pay if you used them, since that might be cheaper than self-pay even with a high deductible.
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 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.
"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.
