Inpatient: lowest $5.74, median $91.35, highest $153.00 — a 26.7× difference within the same market.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 61 facilities here, median $104.40 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

Cash or insurance?

At 11 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 8 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

A triglycerides test measures a type of fat in the blood. It is usually part of a lipid panel and is ordered alone to follow very high levels or treatment.

What the price covers

The price usually covers running the test. The blood draw (36415) is often billed as a separate line.
