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 biggest opportunity here is the price spread: lipid panels in High Point range from $9 to $125 cash price—that's a 14-fold difference for the same test. High Point Regional Health System charges $125, which is well above what you'd pay elsewhere in the area and nearly 70 percent more than the state average of $73. Since this is a simple lab test, there's no quality reason to pay the premium—you want to find an in-network lab or urgent care that can run it for a fraction of that cost.
Before you schedule anywhere, call your insurance company and ask which labs are in-network and what your copay would be (often $10–$20, far cheaper than any cash price). If you're uninsured or cost-sharing is high, ask your doctor if they can order it through an independent lab or retail clinic; many offer cash prices under $30. Don't assume your primary care office's lab is your only option—they can usually send the order anywhere.
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.
