Prices vary by clinic and are set by the provider, not by CoreMed. Listing does not imply a CoreMed membership discount unless stated.
Meanwhile, what a hospital charges
Not CoreMed prices and not clinic prices. These are what Montana hospitals ask a self-paying patient, taken from their own federally required price files. They are here as the benchmark the numbers above are worth comparing against.

| Comprehensive metabolic panel 6 hospitals publishing a self-pay price | $48 | $228 | 4.7× |
| Lipid panel 5 hospitals publishing a self-pay price | $61 | $197 | 3.2× |

Self-pay prices from each hospital's machine-readable file, extracted August 2026. Hospitals publishing no separate self-pay rate are excluded, so every figure is like for like. See the full comparison.
What this costs around Montana
Blood tests are the widest price gap in American healthcare and the easiest to check. The same panel can be a few dollars or a few hundred depending only on where it is drawn. These are prices other providers publish on their own websites. These are not CoreMed prices and not rates CoreMed has negotiated. Every one links to where we found it.

Collected August 2026 from each provider's own website. Prices change and some carry conditions, so follow the link and check before you rely on one. Where a provider publishes no price, we say so rather than estimating.
Members usually pay less than this
Labs, X-rays and prescriptions are part of a CoreMed membership rather than a separate bill. If you're regularly paying cash for the things on this page, the membership is often the cheaper path.
