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
Your lipid panel cash price in Alexandria ranges from $102 to $281 depending on where you go—nearly triple the cost at the highest end. Most facilities charge around $145, which is close to what you'd pay statewide, so you're not in an unusual market. The two INOVA hospitals both charge $145 cash, putting them right at the median. Before you schedule, call the lab directly at whichever location is most convenient and confirm that $145 is their cash price for an uninsured or self-pay lipid panel—lab prices sometimes vary by how the test is ordered.
If your insurance covers the lipid panel, ask your insurer what your copay or coinsurance will be before you go; that often beats the cash price. If you're uninsured and cash-strapped, call INOVA's billing department and ask whether you qualify for financial assistance—many people don't realize they're eligible. Getting the test done matters more than saving $40, so don't skip it waiting for the absolute lowest price.
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 Lipid 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.
