Cash or insurance?
At 13 of 15 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 2 it is 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
An AFP test measures a protein made by the liver and by a developing baby. In adults it is used to watch for liver cancer in people with cirrhosis and to follow some testicular cancers.
What the price covers
The price usually covers running the test. The blood draw (36415) is often billed as a separate line.

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 82105 ($80.55). 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.
