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

Best value Lexington Memorial Hospital INC — $23 3★ CMS rating
You could save $64 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
North Carolina average $109 — 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

Your cash price for a hemoglobin A1C test in High Point ranges from $23 to $87 depending on where you go — nearly a four-fold difference for the exact same blood test. That $64 gap is real money, especially if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. The lowest-priced labs in your area charge roughly a quarter of what the highest-priced ones do, so this is one of those moments where a two-minute phone call to three or four facilities could save you meaningful money.

Before you schedule, call the lab department at each hospital's main number and ask for their cash price for a hemoglobin A1C test — don't rely on their websites. If cost is tight, also ask whether they offer financial assistance based on income; some labs do. If your doctor ordered this through a specific hospital system, ask your doctor's office if they can send you to an independent lab instead — you're not locked into their facility for routine blood work.

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 Hemoglobin A1C?"

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.
