Before you schedule
You're looking at a procedure where Norfolk hospitals have real price differences — your cash price could range from about $1,100 to $1,800 depending where you go, which means shopping around could save you $700. That's worth a phone call. The median price here is $1,825, so you're likely to pay somewhere in that range unless you find one of the lower-cost options. Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask specifically for their cash price for a transforaminal epidural injection — don't accept a vague estimate.
Once you have that number, call one or two other hospitals in Norfolk (there are six total offering this procedure) and compare their cash prices directly. If cost matters and your doctor hasn't specified a particular facility, you have legitimate flexibility to choose based on price. Ask about financial assistance too — some hospitals will reduce or waive costs if your household income qualifies, and it's money left on the table if you don't ask.
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.
"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.
"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.
"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.
