Before you call
The data in this report is from each hospital's publicly filed prices. Here's how to use it.
Confirm the price
Call the hospital's billing department and ask for a price estimate or Good Faith Estimate for Upper GI Endoscopy with Biopsy (CPT 43239). Under federal law, they must provide this. Compare it to the published price in this report.
Ask about cash pay
If you haven't met your deductible, ask for the cash/self-pay rate. At many hospitals, the cash price is lower than the insurance-negotiated rate. You can see this in the insurance table above — some negotiated rates exceed the cash price.
Compare before you schedule
You are not required to use the facility your doctor referred you to. You can request a referral to any in-network facility. The same procedure, same quality — sometimes at a fraction of the price.
Ask about financial help
Most nonprofit hospitals in Virginia offer financial assistance to patients based on household income. This is separate from insurance — even insured patients can qualify. Ask billing for their Financial Assistance Policy.
