Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for the self-pay price of each test code on the order plus the draw fee, since panels and single tests are priced separately.
- Compare an independent lab's cash price with the hospital lab's; you can usually take the same order to either.
- Ask whether any test on the order will be sent to an outside reference lab, which can mean a separate bill.
