About This Procedure

Blood tests help diagnose diseases, check organ function, and monitor treatments. Common panels include CBC, metabolic panels, lipid panels, and thyroid tests.

Why do these costs look low?

These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates β€” the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
