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 Virginia Beach ranges wildly—from $4 at two Sentara hospitals to nearly $176 elsewhere. That $4 price is genuinely unusual and worth taking seriously. If you don't have insurance or are paying out of pocket, calling Sentara Virginia Beach General or Sentara Princess Anne first could save you most of what you'd spend at other local labs. The wider Virginia average is around $100, so you're looking at a real opportunity here.
Before you schedule, call the lab directly at whichever Sentara location is closest and confirm they'll honor that $4 cash price for your specific lipid panel order. Ask whether your doctor's office can send the order directly to them. If you do have insurance, confirm with your plan whether they cover lab work at no cost—many do—before worrying about the cash price at all.
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.
