Lab Work Cost in Tampa-St. Petersburg, FL

Lab work in this comparison covers two common blood tests. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential, billed under HCPCS code 85025, analyzes a blood sample to count red cells, white cells, and platelets and to break down the types of white cells present. A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), billed under HCPCS code 80053, measures a set of chemical values in blood, including glucose, electrolytes, and markers of kidney and liver function. The facility fee is the hospital's charge for the equipment, supplies, and staff that collect and process the sample. Prices on this page come from CMS-mandated hospital price transparency files.

Data may be outdated

This hospital's pricing file has not been updated since 2026-01-01 (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 list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is what an uninsured or self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates with insurers. For the CMP (80053), Tampa General lists a gross charge of $32 and a cash price of $11.20, which is 35% of gross. HCA Trinity lists a gross charge of $4,927.44 and a cash price of $4,927.44, which is 100% of gross. Tampa General's 35% ratio reflects a larger percentage discount, yet its cash price is far lower. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible generally owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge. Differences between the two billing codes Code 85025 (CBC with Differential) counts blood cell types, while code 80053 (CMP) measures a panel of chemistry values, so they are priced separately. At Tampa General, the CBC cash price is $122.85, compared with $11.20 for the CMP, a difference of $111.65. At the Mease and Morton Plant hospitals, the CBC cash price is $124.80, compared with $360.60 for the CMP, a difference of $235.80. Several HCA hospitals list $0 for the CBC, which appears to be incomplete data.

Why Lab Work Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures Gross charges for the CMP range from $32 at Tampa General to $4,927.44 at HCA Trinity, a gap of $4,895.44. Cash prices span nearly the same range, from $11.20 to $4,927.44, a gap of $4,916.24. The gap does not narrow here because several systems set the cash price equal to the gross charge. Tampa General's cash price is 35% of gross, BayCare, Mease, Morton Plant, South Florida Baptist, and St. Joseph's list cash at 60% of gross, and AdventHealth and most HCA hospitals list cash at 100% of gross. Insured rates also vary widely: the CMP payer rates span 447 times from lowest to highest, and CBC rates span 20 times. Facility type and alternatives The hospitals in this dataset include an academic medical center (Tampa General), faith-based and nonprofit community systems, and for-profit systems. Pricing does not track facility type consistently, since community hospitals within the same system often share identical list prices. Outpatient or freestanding laboratories are not in this dataset and may charge differently. Cash prices for lab work in Tampa-St. Petersburg range from $11.20 to $4,927.44 across the listed hospitals.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $11.20 to $4,927.44 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $1.18 (HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital). 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.

What to Do With These Lab Work Prices

Get the codes from whoever placed the order. This page prices two codes: 80053 (CMP) and 85025 (CBC with differential). Ask the ordering office which codes are actually on your order, since one blood draw can carry several tests plus a separate collection (venipuncture) charge. Then ask the hospital lab for its cash price and an itemized estimate covering each code.

Set the quote against the real spread. At the hospitals here, cash for the CMP runs from $11.20 at Tampa General Hospital to $360.60 at BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel. At AdventHealth Carrollwood, the CMP cash price is $807.61, while insured rates top out at $23.44. In 23 of the 54 price rows, cash sits above every insured rate at that hospital, so a cash quote is worth comparing before you agree to it.

Look at what else is on the bill. Check for:

The number of tests billed, and whether any panel appears twice.
A venipuncture or specimen collection line.
A facility charge from the hospital plus a separate professional fee, for example from a pathologist or the ordering clinician.

Remember what a blank means. For 12 of the 54 rows, the gross charge is published as $0 or blank, and the CBC rows at most HCA Florida hospitals show no cash price. That is missing data, not a free test, so ask the hospital directly. Independent labs are not in this dataset and can price the same test very differently, so a quote from one is worth asking about too.

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 Tampa-St. Petersburg?

For the CMP (80053), cash prices range from $11.20 at Tampa General to $4,927.44 at HCA Trinity. For the CBC with Differential (85025), cash prices range from $122.85 at Tampa General to $442.59 at the AdventHealth hospitals in Carrollwood, Riverview, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Zephyrhills. Twelve HCA hospitals list $0 for the CBC, which appears to be incomplete data, so their insured rates provide context instead: $154 to $157.25 at Brandon, Largo West, and St. Petersburg. These figures are facility fees only. Physician and professional fees are billed separately.

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

The gross charge is the hospital's chargemaster price, a list price that almost no one pays. Tampa General's CMP gross charge is $32 and its cash price is $11.20, or 35% of gross. Its CBC cash price is $122.85 against a $351 gross charge, also 35%. Mease and Morton Plant hospitals list cash at 60% of gross, such as $360.60 against $601 for the CMP. AdventHealth and HCA Trinity list cash at 100% of gross. A larger percentage discount does not always mean a lower price: Tampa General's 35% ratio on a $32 gross charge yields a far lower cash price than a 60% ratio on $601.

Does insurance cover a lab work?

Coverage depends on the plan and on whether the test is considered medically necessary. Negotiated rates vary widely: CMP rates in this data run from $10.15 to $4,533.24, and CBC rates run from $10.38 to $208. Non-emergency services may require prior authorization, depending on the plan. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you generally owe the negotiated rate for the service, not the gross charge, until the deductible is satisfied. Your insurer can confirm the rate that applies to your specific plan and hospital.

Are there additional fees beyond the lab work facility charge?

Yes. The facility fee covers the hospital's equipment, supplies, and staff. The ordering physician typically reviews lab results as part of a separate office visit, not as a standalone fee, and that visit is billed separately. Some facilities also bill a separate fee for the blood draw or specimen collection. Lab work performed in an emergency department incurs a separate ER facility fee in addition to the test charges. These additional fees are billed separately from the prices shown here and are not included in the data.

What is the cash price for a CMP at Tampa General Hospital?

Tampa General Hospital lists a cash price of $11.20 for the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (80053), which is 35% of its $32 gross charge. This is the lowest cash price on the page. It is a facility charge only, so separate professional or other fees are not included.

Which Tampa area hospital has the highest published price for a comprehensive metabolic panel?

HCA Florida Trinity Hospital shows the highest published price for 80053 on the page, $4,927.44 for both gross charge and cash price. Its highest insured rate is $4,533.24. These are facility charges only. The cash price equals the gross charge, so no self-pay discount is published there.

Do BayCare hospitals in Tampa Bay publish a discounted cash price for blood work?

Yes. BayCare Hospital Wesley Chapel and the other BayCare hospitals listed publish a cash price of $360.60 for the CMP (80053) against a $601 gross charge, and $124.80 for the CBC (85025) against $208. Each cash price is 60% of gross. These are facility charges only.

How much does Aetna pay for lab work at Tampa and St. Petersburg area hospitals?

Across 27 hospitals on this page, Aetna's published rates for these lab codes range from $10.50 at HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital to $1,085.87 at HCA Florida West Tampa Hospital. The median is $25.26. The highest is about 103x the lowest. These are facility rates only, not total bills.
