Why is the price range for Lipid Panel so wide?

Hospitals negotiate differently with different insurers, the procedure can be performed in different settings (hospital outpatient, ambulatory, inpatient), and in-network status varies plan-by-plan. The 3.6× spread between the 25th and 75th percentile in the data reflects those structural differences, not clinical ones.

How they price Lipid Panel

Across 39 Colorado hospitals that publish a commercial negotiated rate for CPT 80061, the typical insured price for Lipid Panel runs $21 to $76 (the 25th-to-75th percentile of per-hospital medians).

What affects the price

Structural and contractual factors that move the price for this code — not clinical reasons.

· Outpatient setting (hospital outpatient department, ambulatory surgery center, or office) is the single biggest non-clinical price driver — the same code in a hospital outpatient department often costs 2–4× the ambulatory-surgery-center rate.
· In-network vs out-of-network status — out-of-network claims rarely use the negotiated rates shown here.
· Facility fee — many hospitals add a separate facility fee in addition to the procedure rate; ask explicitly when calling.
· Bundled vs unbundled billing — the rate may or may not include radiology read, anaesthesia, or pathology. Ask which professional services are included.
