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 getting an upper GI endoscopy with biopsy in Richmond, here's what matters: all six hospitals in the area are pricing their cash discount at exactly $1,372.50, so there's no savings to chase by shopping around on price alone. Your real leverage is on the insurance side — what your plan actually covers, what your copay or deductible will be, and whether the facility your doctor prefers is in-network. Call your insurance company before you schedule and ask what you'll owe out of pocket at each hospital option your doctor mentioned; that number matters far more than the gross charges billed to insurance.
Before you book, contact the billing department at whichever hospital you choose and confirm they'll apply that $1,372.50 cash price to your bill — mention you're asking about self-pay rates upfront. Also ask whether they have financial assistance available if your income is under 400% of the federal poverty line; many people qualify without knowing it. Once you know your insurance cost-share, you can decide whether the cash price is worth switching facilities.
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 Upper GI Endoscopy with Biopsy?"
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.
