Virginia average $81 — prices near Newport News are above average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

You're looking at this test in Newport News, and here's what matters most: the cash prices for urinalysis with microscopy swing wildly across local labs — from under $43 to $277 — which means where you go could save you hundreds out of pocket. If your insurance doesn't cover it or you're uninsured, this is one of those tests where it's worth a quick call to two or three places before you schedule. The median price locally sits around $90, so anything significantly higher is worth questioning.

Before you book, call the lab your doctor referred you to and ask for the cash price for urinalysis with microscopy — get it in writing if you can. Then call one or two other labs nearby (your doctor can tell you which ones they work with) and compare. If cost is tight, ask whether the lab offers financial assistance based on income, since some do. This test is straightforward enough that any accredited lab can do it, so price and convenience should be your main decision points.

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.

1

"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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
