You're looking at a screening test that's priced remarkably consistently across Charlotte—every facility you'll find charges $124 cash, which is actually lower than the state average of $151. This means you don't need to shop around or worry about picking the wrong hospital; the price is the same everywhere, so you can choose based on convenience, your doctor's preference, or which location fits your schedule.

Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and confirm they honor that $124 cash price for your specific insurance plan—sometimes coverage differs. If you have high-deductible insurance or are uninsured, ask directly for the cash price in writing so there's no surprise billing later. Most places can schedule spirometry within a few days, so you have time to make one quick call before booking.
