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
If you're getting a blood draw in Richmond, you have a genuine pricing advantage — the lowest cash prices here are around $9, which is roughly one-sixth the state average of $56. That means you can save $47 just by asking for the self-pay rate instead of letting insurance handle it. The catch is that prices vary wildly across the six hospitals in your area (ranging from $9 to $65), so the facility your doctor orders matters.
Before you schedule, call your doctor's lab or the hospital billing department and ask specifically for the cash price for a blood draw at the location they're sending you to. If they quote you more than $15, ask if they offer a lower self-pay rate — several Richmond hospitals do. If cost is tight, also ask whether the hospital has financial assistance; you may qualify even with insurance.
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.
