Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 36415 — Collection of venous blood by venipuncture). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why Blood Draw Visit Costs Vary Across Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, driven by the state's geographic challenges in serving both dense urban populations and scattered rural communities. The state's mix of high-cost urban centers like Portland and resource-limited rural counties creates significant cost variations for Blood Draw services across different regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oregon's population concentrates heavily in the Portland metro area and Willamette Valley, where patients have abundant Blood Draw options and competitive pricing among numerous labs and clinics. Rural eastern Oregon counties face provider shortages, with some residents traveling over 100 miles for specialized services, though basic venipuncture is generally available at local hospitals and clinics. This urban-rural divide affects both access and pricing, with rural facilities often charging higher rates due to lower patient volumes and higher operational costs.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Major health systems like OHSU, Legacy Health, and Providence dominate Oregon's healthcare landscape, with their hospital-based outpatient labs typically charging higher facility fees than independent laboratories. Standalone lab companies like Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp maintain numerous locations throughout Oregon, often offering more competitive pricing for routine Blood Draw services. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers provide lower-cost options, particularly in underserved areas.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
Oregon's insurance market features healthy competition among Regence BCBS, PacificSource, UHC, and several smaller regional carriers, helping to moderate negotiated rates for Blood Draw services. The state's robust individual marketplace and Medicaid expansion have increased insurer participation and rate competition. PacificSource's strong presence in rural Oregon and Regence's urban market leadership create different negotiated rate structures across geographic regions.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With over 1,033 active Blood Draw providers, Oregon maintains adequate supply for routine venipuncture services, though distribution favors urban areas over rural counties. This relatively strong provider network helps keep costs competitive in major metropolitan areas while potentially limiting options in frontier regions. The state's medical training programs and proximity to major West Coast medical centers help maintain steady provider recruitment, supporting reasonable pricing and access for most residents.
