Before you schedule

Best value Novant Health Mint Hill Medical Center — $120 4★ CMS rating
You could save $0 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
North Carolina average $109 — prices near Charlotte 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

Your TSH test in Charlotte has a major price split: the two hospital systems offer the same test at dramatically different cash prices. Atrium Health facilities charge $31.25, while Novant Health locations charge $120—nearly four times more for the exact same lab work. If you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible, asking your doctor to order the test through an Atrium facility instead of Novant could save you close to $90. Since this is a simple blood test, location flexibility often means real savings.

Before you schedule, call the hospital's billing department and confirm the $31.25 cash price applies to your specific test—your doctor's order should match what they have listed. If you have insurance, also ask whether the test is fully covered under your plan, since many policies cover preventive thyroid screening at no cost to you. Either way, getting this locked in before your appointment takes five minutes and could eliminate surprise bills.

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 TSH Thyroid Test?"

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.
