Before you schedule
You're looking at a lab test that has wildly different prices across Hampton—your cost for a comprehensive metabolic panel could range from about $104 to $365 depending on which facility you choose. That's more than a three-fold difference for the exact same test, so it's worth a few minutes of phone calls before you schedule. Sentara CareComplex Hospital, which appears in the data here, charges $246.50 for a cash price, which is right at the median for the area but well above what you'd pay at the cheapest option.
Before you book anywhere, call the lab department directly and ask the cash price for your comprehensive metabolic panel—don't rely on website quotes. If your doctor's office has a preferred lab, ask them whether that facility is truly necessary or if they'll accept results from a cheaper alternative nearby. Many primary care offices will take results from any accredited lab, which gives you real flexibility to save here.
Questions to ask when you call

"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?"
