# CBC Complete Blood Count in Newport News

A simple blood count shouldn't cost three times as much at one lab versus another, but that's exactly what's happening here. You'll find the same test priced anywhere from $47 to $139 depending on which facility you choose — and that's the cash price you'd pay out of pocket or that labs quote before insurance. The median price is around $97.50, which means half the places charge more and half charge less. Since this is a basic test your doctor ordered, you have real leverage to shop around.

Before you schedule, call your doctor's office and ask which labs they work with — they may have a preferred network that gives you a better price. Then contact two or three labs directly and ask their cash price for a CBC specifically; don't accept "it depends on insurance." If you're uninsured or have a high deductible, mention that and ask if they offer any financial assistance or discount programs. Most labs can give you a quote in minutes and many will draw your blood the same day.

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.
