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 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.
