Before you book: three questions that change the price
- Is this the self-pay price, and does it include the doctor, anesthesia and any lab or pathology? Those are often billed separately.
- Can you give me the price in writing, with the billing codes it covers?
- What happens to the price if something extra is needed during the procedure?

- Memorial Hospital of Converse County is the lowest-cost option at $67 - $42 below the median posted price ($109), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $109, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Independent and doctor-office labs often charge much less than hospital labs for the same test and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset. Ask where your plan sends lab work.

Wyoming Medicine (based in Casper) and Banner Health serve much of the state's population, but Wyoming's frontier geography means the nearest hospital is often 50–100 miles away. Many Wyoming residents cross into Colorado or Utah for non-emergency specialty care. Critical access hospitals are widespread, and prices at rural Wyoming facilities often run high relative to the care complexity they handle.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $109 versus $123 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick.
None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$109 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$22 |
| Out-of-network provider | $240+ |
Frequently asked questions: cholesterol test costs in Wyoming
How much does a cholesterol test cost in Wyoming?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $13, with most facilities between $13 and $26 (based on 14 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Wyoming hospitals run $20–$169; outlier facilities above and below that range are left out. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.
Where is the cheapest place to get a cholesterol test in Wyoming?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Wyoming data is Memorial Hospital of Converse County in Douglas at about $67.
Why is a cholesterol test so much cheaper at some Wyoming hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 2× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Wyoming, the median cash (self-pay) price is $109 versus a median negotiated rate of $60 - about 1.8× higher. Asking for the cash price as well as your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a cholesterol test in Wyoming?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
