Hospitals report these codes with terse, inconsistent chargemaster text. This plain-English title was written by an AI model from that text and has not been reviewed by a person, so it can be wrong. The prices on this page come straight from hospital filings and do not depend on it.

LABORATORY - BACTERIOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY
53 payers file a negotiated rate for this code. Each is shown once, under the terms the most hospitals file it under; rates under different terms (billing class, payment method, setting) are never blended, so open a payer to see them all. Figures are hospital-level averages; the median is across hospitals.
