Before you schedule

Best value Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital — $1,253 3★ CMS rating
You could save $1,391 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $1,658 — 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 stress echocardiogram prices in Roanoke, and here's what matters: the cash price for this test varies more than two-fold depending on which hospital you choose—from about $1,250 to $2,640. That's a real difference in your wallet, and it's worth 10 minutes of phone calls to find the lowest option. Most people don't realize they can ask for the cash price upfront, even if you have insurance, because paying cash sometimes costs less than your copay or deductible after insurance haggling.

Before you schedule, call the billing departments at the hospitals your doctor recommends and ask specifically for the cash price for a stress echocardiogram—don't accept "we'll bill insurance." Ask whether they offer a discount if you pay before the appointment, and find out if they have financial assistance programs (some do, some don't). Once you know the actual number for each place, you can decide if saving $1,000 or more is worth switching hospitals, or whether your doctor's preferred location is worth the extra cost.

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.
