Blood test cost in New Jersey without insurance

In New Jersey, the median cash price for Comprehensive metabolic panel is $12.14 across 54 hospitals, from $10.00 to $1,434.00. The lowest is at Saint Marys Hospital (Passaic). The US median is $120.25.

Why New Jersey prices look low: under state law (P.L.2008, c.60), a hospital may not charge an uninsured New Jersey resident whose family income is below 500% of the federal poverty level more than 115% of what Medicare pays for the same service. If that is you, ask the hospital's billing office to apply this limit; a separate physician fee may still apply. Other states' laws.

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.
