The basic Complete Blood Count measures red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It does not include the differential (breakdown of white blood cell types). It's a cost-effective option for routine screening when you don't need the full differential analysis.
Counts and characterizes red cells, white cells, and platelets — the broadest single screen for anemia, infection, and bleeding disorders.
Anyone doing an annual physical, investigating fatigue, frequent infections, easy bruising, or unexplained symptoms. The single most-ordered blood test in the US.

A CBC (Complete Blood Count) test costs $21.99 at TestWell — $27.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $80.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.
