Colorado's Hospital Discounted Care law (HB21-1198): for qualifying patients with household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, hospitals and the clinicians who work in them may charge no more than the greater of the Medicare rate or the Medicaid base rate, and monthly payments are capped. That can be less than the cash prices below; ask the hospital to screen you for discounted care. Other states' laws.

A complete blood count (CBC) counts red cells, white cells and platelets in a blood sample and is one of the most common lab tests. The version with a differential (85025) also breaks down the types of white cells. The version without it (85027) is slightly simpler. Hospital lab prices vary widely, and independent labs often charge much less.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Compare the hospital price with an independent lab or a direct-to-consumer lab service; the same test is often a fraction of the price.
  • Ask whether the draw fee is included.
  • If a doctor ordered it, ask which lab they use and whether you can take the order elsewhere.
