Before you schedule

Virginia average $361 — prices near Richmond 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

Right now, spirometry pricing in Richmond varies so widely that where you schedule this test could cost you anywhere from $164 to $1,630 out of pocket — nearly a tenfold difference for the same procedure. Most facilities charge around $189, so if you see a quote much higher than that, it's worth calling another clinic before you book. This kind of spread usually means some places are billing this as a simple screening test while others are bundling it with extra services or marking it up significantly for insurance billing.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever facility your doctor recommends and ask specifically for the cash price for spirometry — don't accept a gross charge quote, since that's the inflated insurance rate. If cost matters to you, get a quote from at least one other facility in Richmond so you can compare. Ask if they offer any financial assistance based on income, since some do.

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 Spirometry Pulmonary Function Test?"

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.
