| HOSPITAL OF BARSTOW INC
BARSTOW, CA Blood test, comprehensive group of blood chemicals |
$1,089.86 | $1,816.44 | 40% | Sep 17, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $14.40, median $357.75, highest $1,089.86 — a 75.7× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 9 facilities here, median $357.75. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 80053 ($107.50). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
