Blood test cost in Alabama without insurance

In Alabama, the median cash price for Comprehensive metabolic panel is $76.00 across 53 hospitals, from $10.00 to $769.00. The lowest is at Riverview Regional Medical Center (Gadsden). The US median is $120.25.

Blood tests are among the easiest services to compare, because a code means the same measurement at any lab. The listed price covers running the test; the blood draw (36415) and the visit where the test was ordered are usually billed separately, and hospital labs often charge more than independent labs for the same code.

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.
