Outpatient: lowest $40.66, median $53.00, highest $55.00 — a 1.4× difference within the same market.

Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. 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
This test measures the sugar in a blood sample. Fasting glucose is a standard test for diabetes and prediabetes.
What the price covers

6 rows held back from this comparison
They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 82947 ($31.20). 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.
