About urinalysis with microscope

CPT 81001 is an automated urinalysis with microscopic examination: a dipstick for protein, glucose, blood, infection markers and more, plus a look at the sample under a microscope for cells and crystals. It is done for urinary infections, kidney concerns, diabetes monitoring and pre-surgical screening.

What the price covers

The laboratory test only. It does not include the visit, a urine culture if infection is suspected (87086, a separate test), or the collection kit.

Why prices vary

This is a test that costs a few dollars to perform. Hospital list prices range from under $10 to over $200, and the cash price at a hospital is often many times what an urgent-care clinic or independent lab charges.

Questions to ask

  • What is the self-pay price for 81001?
  • Will a urine culture be added, and what does it cost?
  • Can it be done at a clinic or independent lab instead of the hospital?
