How much does a PSA cost?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate for a PSA (prostate) blood test is about $49, with most falling between $28 and $96, based on published rates from 3,223 U.S. hospitals. What you actually pay depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.

Cash or self-pay prices for a PSA (prostate) blood test run around $99. Uninsured patients are often billed the much higher hospital "list" charge first (about $176), so it's worth asking for the cash or self-pay rate and negotiating.

Hospital "list" (chargemaster) prices for a PSA (prostate) blood test run about $176 — roughly 3.6× the $49 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 $49), 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.
