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
You're looking at a straightforward lab test, and the good news is the price range in Alexandria is relatively tight—you'll pay somewhere between $121 and $195 for a comprehensive metabolic panel depending which facility you choose. That's about a 60 percent difference between the cheapest and most expensive option, which matters more for lab work than for big procedures since you might have flexibility about where to go. The state average sits around $179, so shopping around here could save you $50 to $75 if you land on one of the lower-priced providers.
Before you book, call the lab or facility billing department and ask specifically for the cash price for your comprehensive metabolic panel—don't rely on their website quote alone. If you have insurance, ask your plan what they'll cover after your deductible, since that number may be much lower than the full cash price. If cost is tight, mention that when you call; some labs have financial assistance programs you may qualify for without having to ask twice.
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 Comprehensive Metabolic Panel?"
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.
