CPT/HCPCS 80061 · Lab panel
How much should lipid panel cost?
$30–$75
Based on the national Medicare reference rate (~$15) at a typical commercial multiple of 2×–5×. This is an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a quote. Your hospital's actual contracted rate may differ.
Why prices vary for this
Lab panels bundle several individual tests into one code. A common billing error is charging the panel code AND the individual component tests separately, you end up paying for the same test twice under CMS coding rules.
Unbundled procedure components
BillMender checks whether your bill lists both a panel code and its individual components, a CMS NCCI violation.
