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 a straightforward lab test, and the good news is that Richmond hospitals are all pricing this the same way—you'll pay around $78.50 out of pocket for a TSH test no matter where you go in the city. This means you don't need to shop around between facilities to save money on the test itself. Your decision can focus on convenience (which lab location works for your schedule) rather than cost.
Before you book, call your insurance company to confirm whether this test is covered under preventive care at no charge to you, since many plans cover thyroid screening without a copay. If you're uninsured, ask the lab directly whether they have financial assistance for people making under a certain income—many do, and you might qualify for a discount. Get the exact out-of-pocket amount in writing before your appointment so there are no surprises.
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 TSH Thyroid Test?"
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.
