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 complete blood count in Charlotte has a wide price spread—you could pay as little as $19 or as much as $60 for the same test depending on where you go. That's a meaningful difference if you're self-paying or have a high deductible. The Atrium Health locations (Pineville, University City, and Carolinas Medical Center) all offer the test for $19 cash, while Novant Health facilities charge $60. There's no quality difference that would justify the premium; both networks score similarly on patient satisfaction.
Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital is most convenient and confirm they'll honor the $19 cash price for your CBC—your specific facility may have different pricing than what's listed here. If cost is your main concern and location isn't fixed, an Atrium location saves you $41 compared to Novant. Ask whether your insurance plan has negotiated rates that might be different from the cash price, since that's what you'd actually pay if it applies.
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 CBC Complete Blood Count?"
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.
