Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $203 3★ CMS rating
You could save $123 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $361 — prices near Hampton are below 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 spirometry tests in Hampton, and here's what matters most: the price you'll pay as a self-pay patient can swing from $135 to $326 depending which facility you choose—that's more than double. Most hospitals in your area are clustered at the higher end, so if cost is a factor, calling around to find that $135 option could save you real money. Your insurance will likely cover this screening, but if you're uninsured or have a high deductible, this gap is worth a five-minute phone call.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask specifically: "What's the cash price for spirometry if I pay out of pocket?" Get the number in writing. If you don't have insurance or face a deductible over $200, ask about financial assistance programs—some hospitals will reduce or waive costs based on income. Your doctor's office may also be able to do this test, which sometimes costs less than a hospital facility, so ask them too.

Questions to ask when you call

1

"What is your cash price for Spirometry Pulmonary Function Test?"

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.
