North Carolina average $156 — 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

If you're getting this lab work done in High Point, you're looking at a cash price range of $94 to $195 depending on where you go — that's more than double at the high end. High Point Regional Health System charges $195, which is nearly three times the state average of $66, so it's worth calling around to independent labs or other facilities in the area before you schedule. You might save $100 just by asking a few questions first.

Before you book anywhere, call the lab directly and ask for their cash price for a comprehensive metabolic panel — don't assume the hospital's price is your only option. If you have insurance, confirm with your plan whether they've negotiated a lower rate at any of these providers, since that could be cheaper than paying cash. If cost is tight, ask whether the facility offers financial assistance based on income; some do, and you won't know unless you ask.

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 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.

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.
