What it is
An automated urinalysis without microscopy tests a urine sample on a machine that reads the chemical dipstick results. It checks for protein, sugar, blood, ketones and signs of infection, without a microscope exam of cells.
What the price covers
The price covers the automated chemical test. A microscope exam or urine culture is billed separately if done.
