What it is

A comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP, CPT 80053): 14 blood tests in one, including glucose, kidney and liver measures.

What the hospital price covers

The lab test. The blood draw (CPT 36415) is often a separate small charge.

How to get the cash price

  1. Pick a hospital from the city table and call its price-estimate or scheduling line.
  2. Say you are a self-pay patient and quote CPT 80053; ask whether the blood draw is included.
  3. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate in writing. If the bill comes in $400 or more above it, you can dispute it. See Good Faith Estimates.

Independent imaging centers and labs, which often charge less, aren’t covered by the hospital price rule and aren’t in this data yet.
