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 cash for this urinalysis, you could see prices swing from about $43 to $120 depending which Virginia Beach lab or hospital draws your sample—nearly a threefold difference. The two Sentara locations in the area both charge $89.50, which is right at the median for the city but slightly lower than the state average of $105. That's a small enough gap that convenience (which location is closest to you) probably matters more than price here.
Before you schedule, call the lab directly and confirm the $89.50 cash price applies to your specific test, since lab pricing can vary by exact test type. If you have insurance, ask what your copay or coinsurance will be—it may actually be cheaper than paying the full cash price upfront. If you're uninsured and cash is tight, ask if they have a financial assistance program you qualify for.
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 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.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"

These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
