What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
A blood draw shouldn't cost you $439 when the same service runs $10.50 across Arlington — yet that 40-fold price difference is real here, mostly depending on where you go. Most places charge around $14 cash, but a handful bill dramatically more, likely because they're billing through a hospital system rather than a standalone lab. Before you schedule anywhere, call the facility's lab directly and ask their cash price for a blood draw. If they quote you anything over $30, ask if they have a financial assistance program or if you can go to an independent lab instead — you'll almost certainly pay less.
Your doctor may have already told you where to get this done, but if you have any choice, shop around. Get the exact cash price from at least one or two places before confirming. If cost is tight and your household income is below 400% of the federal poverty line, ask about charity care — some hospitals here cover lab work entirely for eligible patients, though you have to ask.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for Blood Draw / Venipuncture?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
