What to ask before you book.
Is this the all-in price? Hospitals often quote the facility fee and bill the radiologist, anesthesiologist, or specialist separately. Ask for the bundled total.
Cash-pay vs. insurance? Don't assume insurance is cheaper. For high-deductible plans, cash pay often beats the negotiated rate, especially for elective imaging.
Financial assistance? Federally-tax-exempt hospitals must have a financial-assistance policy. It can knock 50-100% off the bill for households below specific income thresholds.
