Are there additional fees beyond the lab work facility charge?

The facility charge is only one part of what can be billed for lab work. A separate bill may come from a physician or pathologist who interprets or reviews results. Some visits also include a separate charge for the blood draw or specimen collection when it is performed by another provider. If the sample is sent to an outside or independent laboratory, that lab may bill you directly. Other services at the same visit, such as an office or emergency visit, are also typically billed on their own and are not included in the facility prices shown on this page.
