Before you schedule

Virginia average $1,744 — prices near Newport News 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 getting a transforaminal epidural injection in Newport News, your cash price could range anywhere from about $1,090 to $1,825 depending on which of the four hospitals you choose — that's a 67 percent difference for the exact same procedure. This is one of those cases where calling ahead to ask the cash price specifically (not the gross charges billed to insurance) can save you real money, especially if you're uninsured or planning to pay out of pocket.

Before you book, call the billing department at your doctor's preferred hospital and ask for the cash discount price for this injection. Then ask the same question at one other facility on your list — it takes ten minutes and could save you several hundred dollars. If your household income is below 400 percent of the federal poverty line, ask about financial assistance programs; some hospitals forgive or reduce bills for eligible patients even if you don't initially qualify for a discount.

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 Transforaminal Epidural Injection?"

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.
