Lab work shouldn't put you in debt.
We draw your blood in our office and partner with negotiated imaging centers, so the same lab test, the same MRI, the same chest x-ray costs a fraction of what hospitals charge. Often 90 to 95% less.
The math behind our prices.
Three structural changes that let us offer the same labs and imaging as the big hospitals for a fraction of the price.
We bypass insurance.
Instead of billing your insurance, we negotiate cash prices directly with LabCorp and imaging providers. No claims, no rejections, no hidden markups.
We pay the lab on your behalf.
The lab invoices our office, not you. Because there's no risk of non-payment, the lab passes deep discounts to us, and we pass those savings straight to you.
Blood drawn in-office. Imaging at trusted partners.
Your blood is drawn right at our office during your visit. No separate phlebotomy trip. For imaging, we refer you to accredited partner facilities we've negotiated cash rates with, so the savings hold up there too.
Same scan, trusted facilities. Wildly different price.

Now plug the rest in too.
Labs and imaging are two of the biggest savings buckets, but they aren't the whole picture. Add your typical office visits, medications, in-office procedures, and after-hours situations, and see what a full year of care actually costs against the traditional system.

The price is the headline, but the experience is the real reason members come back. Here's what changes when labs and imaging are handled inside your primary care relationship.
What people ask about our pricing.
Are these really the same labs and scans as the hospital?
Yes. Our blood work runs through LabCorp, the same national reference lab used by most physician offices and hospital systems in the country. Your blood is drawn at our office and sent to LabCorp for analysis.
Imaging is performed at accredited partner facilities we refer to, staffed by board-certified radiologists. The accuracy, quality, and validity of the results are identical to anything you'd get at a hospital. Just without the insurance billing inflation.
Why are hospital prices so much higher?
Hospitals price their services with the assumption that insurance companies will negotiate them downward. Multiple administrative layers, facility fees, and billing markups get baked into the listed price. When you walk in without negotiating leverage (as a cash-pay patient or with a high deductible), you can end up paying the inflated price. By contracting directly outside the insurance system, we sidestep all of that.
Can I use these prices if I'm not a member?
No. These rates are exclusively for active Simplicity Health members. The pricing depends on our practice acting as the intermediary with the lab and imaging partners. If you're considering membership, the free meet and greet is the right place to start.
What if my insurance would actually cover the test cheaper?
Then we recommend you use your insurance. Our default is always whichever option costs you less. Before any non-routine test, your physician will compare our cash price to what your insurance would charge after copay and deductible, and we'll show you both options so you can choose.
Are radiology fees really included?
Yes. The price you see is the total price our partner facilities charge our members. At hospitals, a "professional fee" (the radiologist's reading of the scan) is often billed separately and can add hundreds of dollars to a CT or MRI. The cash-pay rates we've negotiated include both the scan and the radiologist interpretation, with nothing else to follow.
What if I need a test that isn't on your price list?
Just ask. The published lists cover our most commonly ordered labs and imaging, but we can quote cash prices for almost anything. If a particular test is something we order regularly, it's likely available at a similar deep discount.
Where do you send members for imaging?
For MRIs, CTs, ultrasounds, and x-rays, we partner with regional imaging centers we've negotiated cash rates with. These are accredited facilities staffed by board-certified radiologists. Your physician will arrange the referral and walk you through where to go.
Bring your recent lab bills to the meet and greet.
The fastest way to see the difference is to compare a recent bill against our prices side by side. The free 20-minute meet and greet is the right place to do it. No commitment, no pressure.
