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 shopping for a urinalysis with microscopy in Alexandria, your biggest decision isn't which hospital to use—it's whether to pay out of pocket or let insurance handle it. The cash price at most facilities here runs $44–$45, but one lab is charging $337 for the same test. That 17-fold difference matters most if you're uninsured or have a high deductible. INOVA Alexandria Hospital offers the median price at $44.50 and has a 4-star rating; INOVA Mount Vernon is equally affordable but slightly lower-rated. Before you schedule, ask your doctor where they typically send samples—many practices have a preferred lab, which may limit your choice.
Call the lab directly and confirm the cash price for your specific test, since "urinalysis with microscopy" can be billed different ways. If you have insurance, check your deductible first; you might meet it faster with a low cash price than by waiting. Ask whether your doctor's office can run the test in-house, which sometimes costs even less. Neither INOVA facility lists financial assistance publicly, but it doesn't hurt to ask billing if cost is a concern.
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 Urinalysis with Microscopy?"
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?"

"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.
