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.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 81003 ($25.00). 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.
