Cash or insurance?

At 2 of 2 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

The general health panel bundles three common blood tests into one order: a comprehensive metabolic panel, a complete blood count and a TSH thyroid test. It is often used for routine checkups. Medicare does not cover this code, but many hospitals list it in their price files.

What the price covers

The price usually covers all three tests in the panel. The blood draw is often billed separately.
