Before you schedule
A blood draw in Alexandria can cost anywhere from $10.50 to $439.50 depending on where you go — that's a 42-fold difference for the same procedure. Two INOVA locations (Alexandria and Mount Vernon) both charge $10.50 cash price, which is well below the statewide average of $56. If you're uninsured or paying out of pocket, choosing one of these INOVA facilities could save you hundreds compared to other providers in the area.
Before you schedule, call the lab directly at whichever hospital you choose and confirm the $10.50 cash price applies to your specific draw — ask if it's the same whether you're a new or existing patient. If you have insurance, your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan, so check your coverage through your insurer's website or call the number on your card. Most standalone lab draws shouldn't require advance authorization, but confirming the price ahead takes two minutes and protects you from surprise bills.
