Lab Work Cost in Pensacola, FL

Lab work in this comparison covers two common blood tests. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential, billed under HCPCS 85025, counts and measures the cells in a blood sample, including red cells, white cells, and platelets, and breaks the white cells into subtypes. A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), billed under HCPCS 80053, measures a set of chemical values in blood, including electrolytes, glucose, and markers of kidney and liver function. Both involve a blood draw followed by laboratory analysis. The facility fee is the hospital's charge for the staff, equipment, and laboratory resources. Prices come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files.

Data may be outdated

This hospital's pricing file has not been updated since 01/01/2026 (287 days ago). Prices may not reflect current charges. Contact the hospital directly for current pricing.

Scope note: These are hospital lab fees only. Independent labs (Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, etc.) typically charge significantly less for routine blood work but are not covered by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule, so they are not included in this data.

Incomplete rows: Some hospitals publish $0 / blank amounts for this procedure in their transparency file. Those cells show as N/A and are excluded from the cash range above.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is the amount for patients paying without insurance. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates with insurers. For the CBC, Sacred Heart Pensacola lists a gross charge of $34.40 and a cash price of $13.76, which is 40% of gross. Baptist Hospital Pensacola and Gulf Breeze Hospital list $137 gross and $20.55 cash, which is 15% of gross. Baptist and Gulf Breeze give a larger percentage discount, yet their cash price is still higher because their starting gross charge is higher. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Code variations
HCPCS 85025 and 80053 are different tests, not variants of one test. The CMP measures a broader chemical panel than the CBC. At Sacred Heart Pensacola, the CMP cash price is $27.52 versus $13.76 for the CBC, a difference of $13.76. At Baptist and Gulf Breeze, the CMP cash price is $36 versus $20.55, a difference of $15.45. HCA West shows a $0 CBC entry, which is incomplete data, so no comparison is possible there.

Why Lab Work Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for the CBC range from $34.40 at Sacred Heart Pensacola to $432 at Santa Rosa Medical Center, a gap of $397.60. Cash prices for the same test range from $13.76 to $64.80, a gap of $51.04, so the spread narrows considerably. For the CMP, gross charges run from $68.80 to $2,644, while cash prices run from $27.52 to $2,644. HCA West is the outlier: its CMP cash price equals its gross charge, a 0% discount, while Santa Rosa, Baptist, and Gulf Breeze apply a 15% cash-to-gross ratio and Sacred Heart applies 40%.

Facility type and alternatives
All five hospitals in this dataset are hospital-based facilities, which set prices through chargemasters and insurer contracts. Hospital laboratories may bill differently than outpatient or freestanding laboratories, which are not included in this dataset and may charge differently. Across both codes, cash prices in this dataset range from $13.76 to $2,644. Payer-negotiated rates vary widely as well, with the CMP spanning a 255x difference between its lowest and highest rates.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Lab Work cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $13.76 to $2,644 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $1 (Baptist Hospital (Pensacola)). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

Key finding: CMP payer rates range from $10.35 at Santa Rosa Medical Center for several Medicare Advantage plans to $2,644 at HCA Florida West Hospital, a 255x difference for the same test.

What to Do With These Lab Work Prices

Ask the ordering office for exact codes. This page prices two tests: 80053 (CMP) and 85025 (CBC with differential). One blood draw can include more codes than these, plus a separate charge for the draw itself (venipuncture). Ask the office that ordered the work which codes it will use, then quote those codes when you call the hospital lab and ask for its cash price and an itemized estimate.

Hold the quote up to the numbers here. At Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola, the CBC cash price is $13.76, while the insured range for the same test runs up to $29.32. At HCA Florida West Hospital, the CMP cash price is $2,644, the same as its gross charge, so no self-pay reduction is published there. Compare any quote or bill against the cash and insured figures for the same code and the same hospital.

Read the bill for counts and duplicates. Check these items:

How many tests were billed, and whether the same panel appears twice.
Whether a separate specimen collection line was added.
Whether the lab, the hospital and any reading physician sent separate bills.

Independent labs are not in this dataset and can price the same test very differently from a hospital outpatient lab, so you can ask the ordering office whether a different lab is an option.

Blank does not mean free. HCA Florida West Hospital shows no gross or cash price for the CBC, and Santa Rosa Medical Center shows no cash price for the CMP. Those are missing data, so call the hospital for a real figure.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Lab Work Costs

How much does a lab work cost without insurance in Pensacola?

Cash prices for the CBC with Differential (85025) are $13.76 at Sacred Heart Pensacola, $20.55 at Baptist Hospital Pensacola, $20.55 at Gulf Breeze Hospital, and $64.80 at Santa Rosa Medical Center. HCA West lists $0, which appears to be incomplete data. Cash prices for the CMP (80053) are $27.52 at Sacred Heart Pensacola, $36 at Baptist and Gulf Breeze, and $2,644 at HCA West. Overall, cash prices range from $13.76 to $2,644. The CMP costs more than the CBC at the hospitals reporting both. These figures are facility fees only; physician or professional fees are billed separately.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is the chargemaster price, a list price set by the hospital that almost no one pays. Cash and insured rates are typically far lower. At Sacred Heart Pensacola, cash is 40% of gross for both tests ($13.76 of $34.40 for the CBC; $27.52 of $68.80 for the CMP). At Baptist and Gulf Breeze, cash is 15% of gross ($20.55 of $137 for the CBC; $36 of $240 for the CMP). Baptist and Gulf Breeze give the larger percentage discount, but their cash prices are still higher than Sacred Heart's because their gross charges start higher.

Does insurance cover a lab work?

Coverage depends on your plan and whether the test is considered medically necessary. Negotiated rates vary widely: CBC rates in the data run from $10.08 to $432, and CMP rates run from $10.35 to $2,644, depending on the insurer and hospital. Non-emergency services may require prior authorization under some plans. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for the test, not the gross charge. After the deductible is met, your share depends on your coinsurance or copay terms.

Are there additional fees beyond the lab work facility charge?

Yes. The prices shown are facility fees, which cover the hospital's laboratory staff, equipment, and resources. The ordering physician typically reviews results as part of a separate office visit, not as a standalone fee, and that visit is billed separately. A physician or pathologist who interprets results may also bill separately. If the blood draw is performed in the emergency department, a separate ER facility fee applies in addition to the lab charges. These additional charges are not included in the prices listed here, and no dollar amounts for them appear in the source data.
