Before you schedule
Your cash price for a transforaminal epidural injection in Virginia Beach can swing from around $1,090 to $1,825 depending where you go—that's a 67% difference for the same procedure. Since you're looking at this procedure soon, that gap is worth closing before you schedule. Most people don't realize they can ask for the cash price upfront, which is typically much lower than what gets billed to insurance, and it doesn't affect your insurance coverage or future claims.
Before you book, call the billing department at whichever hospital your doctor recommends and ask specifically for the cash price for your transforaminal epidural injection. Get the number in writing, then ask if they offer financial assistance—many do, and you may qualify even if you have insurance. If the quote feels high, it's absolutely reasonable to call one or two other facilities in the area to compare. You're making a decision in the next few days, so get those calls in tonight or first thing tomorrow.
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.
