How to read these prices

The negotiated price — a median of $20 here, usually $16–$30 — is the most representative figure: it is what health insurers actually pay New York-area hospitals for a Lipid Panel, averaged so a single outlier contract cannot distort it.

The self-pay cash price (median $33) is the one you can often ask for directly. A self-pay (cash) price is what the hospital will accept from an uninsured patient who pays directly; hospitals publish one only for some services, and it is often lower than the insurer-negotiated price.

Important — a price reference, not a bill

These figures are aggregated from hospitals' public price-transparency files — not a quote, a bill, an insurance benefit determination, or medical advice. Your actual out-of-pocket cost depends on your insurance plan (deductible, copay, coinsurance, network), the exact service and any complications, and which hospital you use. Always confirm price and coverage with the hospital and your insurer before care.
