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 this test done in Fairfax, you have real room to shop — prices for a comprehensive metabolic panel range from $121 to $195, depending on where you go. That $73 spread means you could save significant money by calling ahead and asking the cash price before you book. Most facilities in your area charge close to the top of that range, so it's worth a few phone calls to find one of the lower-priced options.
Before you schedule, call the lab or billing department at whichever facility is most convenient and ask specifically for their cash price for a comprehensive metabolic panel — don't just ask "how much does it cost." If your insurance is covering it, your out-of-pocket amount depends on your deductible and copay, not these cash prices, so confirm your cost-share with your insurance first. If you're uninsured or self-paying, this is exactly the kind of routine test where the price difference matters.
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.
