Before you schedule
If you're paying cash for a TSH test in Virginia Beach, prices swing wildly—from $18.50 to $160, even though this is a routine blood test that should cost roughly the same everywhere. Most places here charge around $18.50, which is far below the state average of $92.56, so you're in a good position. But if you end up at the wrong lab, you could pay nearly nine times more for the identical test. Before you schedule, call your doctor's office and ask which lab they use, then verify that lab's cash price directly with their billing department—don't rely on what your doctor's office tells you the price is.
Once you have the lab name, search this site for their exact cash price, or call their billing line and ask for it by name. If your doctor hasn't specified a lab preference, Sentara Virginia Beach General and Sentara Princess Anne both charge $18.50 for this test and are rated well by patients. Ask your doctor if either works for your insurance—if they do, you've locked in the low end of the range and saved yourself potentially $140.
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 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.
"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.
