A complete blood count (CBC) without differential measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets, but does not break down the white blood cells by type. It is used to check for anemia and blood cell problems.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the automated count. The blood draw is often billed separately.
