About these prices
US hospitals must publish their prices by law. We take them from each hospital's own file. They're what hospitals charge, not what patients told us they paid, and not a quote.
Hospitals are compared on the same billing code, but what each one includes in that price can differ. Doctors, anesthesia and some tests are often billed separately and aren't included.
For insurance, we show what most plans pay the hospital, leaving out the very lowest and highest. Your own share depends on your plan.
What each hospital calls it: St. Bernard Parish Hospital, “HC BASIC METABOLIC PANEL(8 TESTS)”; East Jefferson General Hospital, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; Lakeside Hospital, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; LCMC Health Emergency Care, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; University Medical Center, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; Ochsner Medical Center - Kenner, “HC BASIC METABOLIC PANEL(8 TESTS)”; West Jefferson Medical Center, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; New Orleans East Hospital, “Blood Test Basic Group of Blood Chemicals”; Touro, “HC Metabolic Panel Total Ca”; St. Charles Parish Hospital, “HC BASIC METABOLIC PANEL(8 TESTS)”; St. James Parish Hospital, “Metabolic panel total ca”.
