Before you schedule

Virginia average $322 — prices near Roanoke 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

You're looking at a skin biopsy in Roanoke, and the good news is the cash price range here is tight—you're looking at somewhere between $342 and $467 depending on which facility you choose, with most clustering around $342. That $125 spread matters less than it might sound, since you're comparing a procedure that's fairly standardized. The real question isn't which hospital is cheapest; it's whether your dermatologist has privileges at one of these four places, and whether your insurance actually covers the biopsy (many do, but verify your specific plan's coverage before you call to schedule).

Before you book, call your dermatologist's office and ask which Roanoke facility they typically use for biopsies—that often settles the decision. Then call that hospital's billing department and confirm your insurance will cover it, or ask for the cash price if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. If cost is your main concern and your doctor has flexibility, you can ask billing at the lowest-price facility ($342) whether they offer any discount if you self-pay, since the difference between cash and insurance billing can sometimes be negotiated.

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 Tangential?"

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.
