Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $51 3★ CMS rating
You could save $52 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $128 — prices near Norfolk 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 therapeutic activities in Norfolk, and the price range here is steep—you could pay anywhere from about $51 to $191 per session depending on where you go. That's a nearly fourfold difference for the same procedure, which means your choice of facility could meaningfully affect your out-of-pocket costs, especially if you need multiple sessions. Before you schedule, call the billing department at any facility you're considering and ask specifically for their cash price for therapeutic activities—don't rely on their website estimate, since these quotes often vary based on your insurance or payment method.

Once you have that number, check whether your insurance requires you to use an in-network provider or if you have the flexibility to shop around. If you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible, comparing even two or three facilities in Norfolk could save you hundreds of dollars over the course of your treatment. Also ask whether the facility offers financial assistance or payment plans—many do, but you have to request it.

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 Therapeutic Activities?"

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.
