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

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $1,091 3★ CMS rating
You could save $1,432 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $1,785 — prices near Norfolk 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 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.

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.
