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 Lexington Memorial Hospital INC — $60 3★ CMS rating
You could save $84 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
North Carolina average $111 — prices near High Point 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

A TSH thyroid test in High Point ranges from $38 to $144 depending where you go—nearly a four-fold difference for the same blood test. High Point Regional Health System charges $87 for cash pay, which is below the state average of $93 and well under what most labs in your area want. The real savings opportunity: if you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, shopping around can cut your bill nearly in half compared to the highest-priced option in town.

Before you schedule, call High Point Regional's lab directly and confirm the $87 cash price applies to your specific test—ask for "TSH with the cash discount." If you have insurance, check your benefits first; your plan might cover this entirely, or your copay could be lower than the cash price. Ask about financial assistance too if cost is tight, since nonprofit hospitals often have programs for people who qualify based on income.

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.
