Inpatient: lowest $8.00, median $94.50, highest $265.93 — a 33.2× difference within the same market.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 52 facilities here, median $68.97 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

Cash or insurance?

At 5 of 26 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 5 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 fibrinogen test measures a clotting protein. It is used for unexplained bleeding, before some surgeries and in severe illness to check clotting.

What the price covers

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

8 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 85384 ($75.77). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
