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
If you're getting a lipid panel done in Chesapeake, you have an unusual opportunity: some labs here charge as little as $4 for the test, while others charge $175—that's a 44-fold difference for the exact same bloodwork. Chesapeake General Hospital's cash price of $75.73 puts them in the middle-to-upper range, which means you could save significant money by calling around to smaller labs or urgent care centers in your area before you schedule anywhere. Don't assume your doctor's office is your only option.
Before you book, call three labs in Chesapeake and ask for their cash price for a lipid panel—you're looking for the $4 to $30 range if it exists near you. If Chesapeake General is most convenient, ask their billing department whether that $75.73 is their final cash price or if they offer any discount for self-pay or prompt payment. A few minutes of calling could easily save you $50 to $70 on this test.
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.
