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
If you're paying out of pocket for this procedure in Alexandria, your price could swing wildly depending on which hospital you choose—from $1,484 to nearly $4,735 for the same endoscopy with biopsy. The good news is that INOVA Alexandria and INOVA Mount Vernon both offer the lowest cash price at $1,484, which is also well below the Virginia state average of $2,305. That's a real savings opportunity if you're self-pay. INOVA Alexandria has slightly better patient ratings (4 stars versus 3 stars), so if you're deciding between the two, that's one factor in its favor.
Before you book, call the billing department at whichever INOVA location you're considering and confirm that $1,484 is the actual cash price for your specific procedure—sometimes what's publicly listed doesn't match what you owe. Ask whether they have financial assistance if your income qualifies; nonprofit hospitals often have programs that can reduce or eliminate your bill entirely. Once you have a confirmed price and know your insurance details, you'll have a clear picture of what to expect.
