What does a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) cost? Across 28 major U.S. metros, the typical insurer-negotiated price for a CMP (CPT 80053) ranges from about $10 to $487 by metro, based on hospitals' own price-transparency files.

About CMP pricing
A CMP is billed as CPT 80053 and is usually a outpatient (same-day) service. Prices vary widely by metro and by hospital, which is why every figure here is tied to a specific hospital's own published file. 19 of these 28 metros have at least one hospital publishing a self-pay cash price.
The chargemaster (list) price is the hospital's undiscounted sticker rate. Almost no one actually pays it — insurers negotiate it down and self-pay patients are usually offered the cash price — but it shows how large the discount off list can be.
