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
You're looking at lipid panel prices in Arlington, and here's what matters: the same test costs anywhere from $102 to $281 depending on where you go—nearly three times as much at the highest-priced lab compared to the lowest. Most places charge around $145 cash, but you could save real money by calling ahead. If your doctor didn't specify a particular lab and you have flexibility on location, this is one of those moments where a five-minute phone call to ask the cash price can put money back in your pocket before your insurance even gets involved.
Before you schedule, call your doctor's office and ask if the lab location is fixed or if you can choose. Then call the labs that are convenient to you and ask for their cash price for a lipid panel—get it in writing via email if you can. If cost is tight, ask each lab whether they have financial assistance; some do, though it depends on the facility. Once you know the actual price, you'll know whether to go ahead or shop around.
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.
