A lipid panel is a blood test that measures total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, triglycerides and calculated LDL (bad) cholesterol. It is a standard part of a checkup and is billed under code 80061. A test of total cholesterol alone (82465) is cheaper but gives less information. Prices vary widely between hospitals, clinics and independent labs, and the same test is often offered much cheaper through a walk-in lab.

Paying cash: what to do

  • Independent labs and direct-to-consumer lab services often charge a fraction of what hospitals list for the same panel.
  • Ask whether the blood draw is a separate charge; some places add it to the price.
  • If your doctor orders it, you can often take the order to a lab you choose.
