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?

Quick take
- Marion General Hospital is the lowest-cost option at $12 - $35 below the median posted price ($47), just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $51, 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.

How where you go changes what you pay for metabolic panel
The same metabolic panel bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.
- Facility fee $5–$444
Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers
- Facility fee $10–$572
Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers
Indiana has one of the most concentrated hospital markets in the Midwest, which the FTC has previously flagged as insufficiently competitive. Indiana University Health and Ascension St. Vincent hold significant combined market share in Indianapolis. The lack of robust competition is reflected in commercial reimbursement rates that run above the Midwest average.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (11) report prices above $242, including Rehab Hospital of Fort Wayne, LLC d/b/a Select Medical Rehabilitation Hospital at Lutheran Hospital at $572, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $38 versus $103 inpatient (about 2.7× more), 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 | ~$47 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$9 |
| Out-of-network provider | $103+ |
Frequently asked questions: metabolic panel costs in Indiana
How much does a metabolic panel cost in Indiana?
The typical insurer-negotiated rate is $9, with most facilities between $6 and $10 (based on 103 hospitals reporting negotiated rates). Posted cash prices at the middle 80% of Indiana hospitals run $6–$218; 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 metabolic panel in Indiana?
Based on declared prices, the lowest posted price in our Indiana data is Marion General Hospital at about $12. By metro, Fort Wayne has the lowest median ($10).
Why is a metabolic panel so much cheaper at some Indiana hospitals?
Typical prices vary about 1.7× (25th to 70th percentile of negotiated rates) because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Indiana, the median cash (self-pay) price is $51 versus a median negotiated rate of $17 - about 3× 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 metabolic panel in Indiana?
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.
