FREQUENTLY ASKED✓ Reviewed
How much does hs-CRP (Inflammation Marker) cost in Austin without insurance?+
Cash-pay prices for hs-CRP (Inflammation Marker) in Austin range $13–$60. We track Austin providers — compare side-by-side above and call the one whose price and location works for you.
What's included in the cash price?+
Cash-pay bundles typically cover the provider's professional fee, facility/visit fee, and (for procedures) any supplies used in-office. Pathology, imaging, and anesthesia are sometimes billed separately — confirm the bundle with the front desk before scheduling.
Do I need a referral?+
Most Austin cash-pay clinics on MarketCare accept self-referrals. Some may request a short intake or a prior consult visit. Call the provider to confirm.
Can I use HSA/FSA funds?+
Yes — hs-CRP (Inflammation Marker) is a qualified medical expense. Ask for an itemized receipt with the CPT code for your HSA/FSA reimbursement.
Why does MarketCare show cash prices instead of insurance?+
Cash-pay prices skip claim coding, prior-auth, and facility markups. Providers price flat because they'll be paid on the spot — often 40–70% below the insured rate. If you're close to hitting your deductible, running it through insurance may still be cheaper overall.
