Outpatient: lowest $12.18, median $48.72, highest $105.00 — a 8.6× difference within the same market.

Cash or insurance?

At 3 of 3 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it 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

An Rh test checks whether red blood cells carry the Rh (D) protein. It is done with blood typing before transfusion and in pregnancy.

What the price covers

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

3 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 86901 ($48.00). 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.
