Cash or insurance?
At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is not 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 complete blood count (CBC) with differential measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets, and breaks the white cells down into their types. It is used to check for anemia, infection, inflammation and many other conditions.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the automated CBC and differential. The blood draw is often billed separately, and a manual smear review, if needed, can be an extra code.
