Before you book: three questions that change the price

  1. Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
  2. Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
  3. What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

Quick take

  • THE MOSES H. CONE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL OPERATING CORPORATION is the lowest-cost option at $1,318 - $1,586 below the median posted price ($2,904), just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $2,932, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • Ask whether this procedure can be done at a freestanding ambulatory surgical center - they're typically 30-60% cheaper than a hospital for identical care, and most aren't in this hospital-only dataset.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (5) report prices above $4,532, including Granville Health System at $7,524, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $2,904 versus $1,318 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.

What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$2,904
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$581
Out-of-network provider $6,389+

By metro, Greensboro has the lowest median ($1,318). Freestanding ambulatory surgery centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is a d&c (dilation and curettage) so much cheaper at some North Carolina hospitals?

Typical prices vary about 5× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In North Carolina, the median cash (self-pay) price is $2,932 versus a median negotiated rate of $2,972 - cash is the lower number at many hospitals. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a d&c (dilation and curettage) in North Carolina?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
