What this price typically doesn't include

Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:

  • Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
  • Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
  • Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
  • Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
  • Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient

Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule

North Carolina average $1,657 — prices near High Point 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 looking at stress echocardiograms in High Point, the cash price can swing nearly double depending on which hospital you choose — ranging from around $934 to $1,756. That's a difference of $800 that comes straight out of your pocket if you're paying cash or hitting your deductible. Before you schedule, call the billing departments at each of the four hospitals in town and ask specifically for the cash price for your stress echocardiogram. The quote you get matters more than convenience right now.

Once you have those quotes, ask whether the hospital offers financial assistance — eligibility thresholds vary widely, and you might qualify even if you think you won't. If you have insurance, also confirm with your plan whether this particular hospital is in-network and what your out-of-pocket cost would be. Getting those three numbers (cash price, insurance cost, financial assistance eligibility) from each place takes maybe 30 minutes of phone calls and could save you hundreds.

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 Stress Echocardiogram?"

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.
