Before you schedule

Virginia average $411 — prices near Fairfax are above 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

If you're getting a skin biopsy punch in Fairfax, your cash price could range from $122 to $436 depending on where you go — that's more than triple the difference between the cheapest and most expensive option. This is the kind of procedure where calling ahead to ask the cash price really matters, because you might save $300 just by choosing the right location. Even if you have insurance, knowing the cash price gives you leverage to negotiate before your appointment.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at your top two or three choices and ask specifically for the cash price for a skin biopsy punch — don't settle for an estimate range. Also ask if they offer financial assistance for self-pay patients, since some do. Your dermatologist's office can probably tell you which facilities they partner with, which narrows down who to call and makes scheduling easier.

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 Skin Biopsy Punch?"

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.
