Outpatient: lowest $4.00, median $180.74, highest $275.38 — a 68.8× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 12 facilities here, median $180.74. 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 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

A uric acid test measures uric acid in the blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor gout, to look into kidney stones and to watch levels during some cancer treatments.

What the price covers

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