New York law (Public Health Law §2807-k(9-a), as amended in October 2024): uninsured patients with income below 200% of the federal poverty level owe nothing for emergency and medically necessary hospital care; up to 400% they pay on a sliding scale of at most 10% or 20% of what Medicaid would pay. Emergency care is covered for New York residents, other care for people living in the hospital's service area; immigration status does not count. Ask for the Uniform Hospital Financial Assistance form. 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.
