This post is not about quality of care - it is about pricing. My doctor ordered 3 tests. Albemarle Sentara cost for a lumbar xray is $427 (this is the discounted amount through my insurance company), The same xray at Suffolk Sentara (the SAME hospital system) is $108. The medicare reimbursement rate is $58. It is much easier to look up medical care pricing now - Why would anyone use this hospital with these outrageous prices?
