What this is
This is a lab test — bloodwork, a panel, a culture, or a pathology analysis run on a specimen. Lab tests are frequently ordered together in panels and processed in high volume.
What affects the price
The disclosed price below is usually one line of a larger visit bill, and where the specimen is processed (a hospital lab versus an independent reference lab) can change it substantially. If you are paying cash, ask whether an outside lab is an option.
