Blood tests are a vital part of a diagnostic process and play a significant role in chalking out apt treatment plans. Laboratory examination of a blood sample can detect a variety of ailments, including the functioning of certain organs, certain genetic disorders, infections, and an individual's general health.
This article aims at delving into the full panel, complete blood count (CBC), and complete metabolic panel (CMP) blood tests. It also looks into how much blood work is without insurance, CBC test price, and CMP blood test cost. Let's get right into it!
A full panel blood test includes several blood tests that can identify potential medical complications in their early stages to administer prompt treatment. It is typical for doctors to compare the information gathered from a full panel blood test each year with previous testing rounds to understand an individual's general health changes better.
Although the number of tests may slightly differ, it is typical for a full panel blood test to include the following evaluations:
A complete blood count test measures the range of a person's red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.
A complete metabolic panel test measures an individual's liver functioning.
Lipid panel testing measures LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels.
A basic metabolic panel test monitors the calcium, glucose, potassium, sodium, chloride, creatinine, carbon dioxide, electrolytes, and blood urea nitrogen concentrations in an individual's blood.
A comprehensive urinalysis exam measures the concentration and content of urine to detect diseases or infections.
Thyroid panel testing monitors the function of an individual's thyroid, which is a gland that regulates body temperature, heart rate, growth hormones, metabolism, and other hormones.
Prothrombin time testing measures the time it takes for a blood sample to clot.
A full panel blood test plays a vital role in uncovering several health issues such as:
Infection or inflammation
Cardiovascular complications
Depending upon the composition of a full panel blood test, a testing laboratory may provide test results within 24-72 hours. It is important to consult a medical health professional before getting tested, as some procedures require fasting for at least eight hours before the test to ensure accurate results.
Blood tests without insurance naturally cost more than other kinds of tests and range anywhere between $108- and $1,139. If a patient requires multiple tests, the cost may build up to thousands of dollars.
CBC and CMP are two vital tests carried out in almost all full panel blood tests – let's look more into them and their pricing.
A complete blood count test concentrates on the three types of blood cells (White Blood Cells, Red Blood Cells, and Platelets) and allows a medical health professional to check for underlying conditions such as anemia and leukemia. CBC includes the following subtests:
White blood cell (WBC) count
Differential white blood cell count
Red blood cell (RBC) count
Hematocrit (Hct) test
Hemoglobin (Hgb) test
Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) test
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) test
Red cell distribution width (RDW or RCDW) test
Platelet count
Mean platelet volume (MPV)
Without insurance, the out-of-pocket price range of a CBC test is between $140 - $622. It typically depends upon a patient's health plan, location in the United States, and the testing facility.
A comprehensive metabolic panel test is also known as a chemistry panel and measures an individual's fluid and electrolyte balance, glucose levels, kidney function, liver function, etc. Several subtests are included in CMP and include the following:
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test
Albumin test
Total protein test
Alkaline phosphatase test
Aspartate aminotransferase test
Bilirubin test
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test
Calcium test
Chloride test
Creatinine test
Fasting blood sugar test
Phosphorus test
Potassium test
Sodium test
The cost of a basic metabolic panel test without insurance is higher than a comprehensive metabolic test and ranges between $330 - and $1309. A CMP blood test, in contrast, can cost anywhere between $26.00 and $134.00 without insurance. The estimated national average for this test is $48.

Please note that these services are not intended for any emergency medical situations. If you are having a life-threatening or serious condition that may require hospitalization, including, but not limited to, high-grade fever; low or high blood pressure; active serious infection, including, but not limited to, COVID; chest pain; shortness of breath; severe pain; or stroke-like symptoms, please call 911 immediately or go to a nearby emergency center as quickly as possible.
If you do not have a physician's order for labs or non-invasive radiology services, you may request it through our network of affiliated physicians/providers in selected states for an additional non-refundable fee, as listed (asynchronous consultation). Please note that an asynchronous consultation or physician-order service for diagnostics is not available for radiology tests requiring IV contrast. Patients needing a diagnostic study with IV contrast must complete an online visit with our physician first and, likely, will also need to have a lab test for their kidney function before a diagnostic study with IV contrast can be scheduled.
Once you request our provider or physician's order service, you will receive an email from us inquiring more details about your medical history. Based on the information you provide, one of our affiliated physicians or providers will make a determination about processing the order for the requested service. In some cases, as determined by our affiliated medical team, you may be required to provide additional clinical information or may be asked to have a more detailed online visit (an additional fee may apply) before your order can be processed. Please note that in some situations, or based on available clinical information, our team may even decide not to process the requested diagnostic order service and rather may recommend you to seek immediate medical attention in person or go to the nearest urgent care or ER. In that case, any advanced payment for the diagnostic service(s) will be refunded, but the physician's consultation or order request fee will remain non-refundable.
Please also note that any post-diagnostic service follow-up visit(s) or treatment(s) is not covered in this service fee and the ordering physician is not responsible to provide any continued care unless you sign-up for that service separately. Depending on your situation or test results, you may be advised to seek consultation with either primary care or a specialist physician (local or online) for further work-up and treatment. If you are unsure or have any questions, please call our customer support service before placing an order.
