How much do hospitals charge for blood tests?
The table lists the blood test fees published on the websites of the 12 Hong Kong private hospitals this site checked, not all institutions in Hong Kong.
Compiled by this site: complete blood count about HK$160 to HK$300; liver function about HK$635 to HK$970; kidney function about HK$635 to HK$800; blood lipids about HK$650 to HK$1,070. Pricing bases differ between hospitals (outpatient, standard room or a single fee), so go by the notes when comparing.
How this list was put together: an institution is listed when it publishes this fee on its own website and this site has checked the figures against that fee schedule. The rows are in a fixed order, not in order of price; this site does not recommend any institution, the order says nothing about quality, and the list is not every institution in Hong Kong.
