Outpatient: lowest $2.60, median $28.71, highest $54.81 — a 21.1× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $2.60. 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
This blood test measures IgE antibodies to one specific allergen, such as peanut, cat or a pollen. The code is billed once per allergen, so a panel of many allergens is billed many times.
What the price covers
The price is for one allergen. A panel is billed once per allergen. The blood draw (36415) is often billed as a separate line.
