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

Best value Lexington Memorial Hospital INC — $55 3★ CMS rating
You could save $17 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
North Carolina average $77 — prices near High Point are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

A CBC is one of the simplest blood tests, so you'd think the price would be straightforward—but in High Point, you're looking at a 40 percent spread depending on where you go, ranging from $52 to $72 for a cash price. High Point Regional Health System charges $56, which is below the median here and notably cheaper than the statewide average of $47—wait, that's actually higher than state average. The point: this test shouldn't cost you more than $70 anywhere in town, and shopping around could save you $20. Since it's a basic lab draw, there's no reason to let location or convenience drive your choice if another facility nearby is meaningfully cheaper.

Before you schedule, call the lab or your doctor's office and ask them to quote you the cash price for a CBC at whichever facility is most convenient for you—not the gross charge, just what you'd pay out of pocket. If it's over $65, ask if they have a financial assistance program; some labs in the area offer sliding-scale pricing if your income qualifies. You can get this test done at an urgent care or independent lab as well, so if your doctor hasn't specified a location, compare a couple of options before booking.

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.

1

"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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
