About liver function panel

CPT 80076 is a hepatic function panel: seven tests from one blood draw that measure liver enzymes, bilirubin, protein and albumin. It is ordered for suspected liver disease, alcohol-related concerns, medication monitoring (statins, some antibiotics) and abnormal results on a metabolic panel.

What the price covers

The laboratory analysis of one sample. The blood draw is a separate small charge. Note that a comprehensive metabolic panel (80053) already includes most of these tests; ordering both is common and often unnecessary.

Why prices vary

Automated chemistry tests cost hospitals very little to run, yet hospital cash prices for this panel range from single digits to several hundred dollars. Independent laboratories are usually far cheaper for the identical test.

Questions to ask

  • What is the self-pay price for 80076 and the draw fee?
  • Was a comprehensive panel (80053) also ordered, and is this one still needed?
  • Can the sample go to an outside laboratory?
