Outpatient: lowest $4.00, median $47.00, highest $109.00 — a 27.2× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 29 facilities here, median $76.44. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
Cash or insurance?
At 13 of 16 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
A total cholesterol test measures all the cholesterol in the blood. It is part of a lipid panel, which also gives HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
What the price covers
