How much does a Complete blood count cost?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate for a Complete blood count (CBC) is about $26, with most falling between $12 and $62, based on published rates from 3,282 U.S. hospitals. What you actually pay depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.

Cash or self-pay prices for a Complete blood count (CBC) run around $64. Uninsured patients are often billed the much higher hospital "list" charge first (about $115), so it's worth asking for the cash or self-pay rate and negotiating.

Hospital "list" (chargemaster) prices for a Complete blood count (CBC) run about $115 — roughly 4.4× the $26 insurers actually pay. The list price is a starting point almost no one pays; the negotiated and cash rates are the realistic benchmark.

Yes. If you were charged well above the typical negotiated rate (about $26), that gap is negotiable. Upfronte audits your bill against real hospital pricing data and can negotiate it down on your behalf — no savings, no fee.
