Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $43 3★ CMS rating
You could save $47 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $81 — prices near Norfolk 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

If you're paying out of pocket for this urinalysis, shop around—Norfolk labs vary wildly, from about $43 to $120 for the same test. That nearly threefold difference means you could save $75 just by choosing carefully. Sentara Leigh Hospital and Sentara Norfolk General both offer it at $89.50, right at the local median and below the Virginia state average of $105. Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters charges significantly more at $120, though that facility may not be relevant for you unless this is for a child.

Before you book anywhere, call the lab directly and confirm they'll honor the cash price you find online—some facilities won't. If cost is tight, ask whether the hospital offers financial assistance programs; eligibility often goes higher than you'd expect. Get the exact cash price in writing, since lab pricing can shift, and confirm whether your insurance (if you're using it) would cover this test at that location instead.

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 Urinalysis with Microscopy?"

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.
