Getting Blood work Bill directly from Lab

It is prolly the primary trying to get more out of your insurance….apparently, it didn’t work!

I would do some further investigating, as your doctor might be in network but the lab may not be. Chances are, you’ll have to pay it…but you need to know what is going on.

You could just call your PCP and ask them

Do you get an EOB from your ins to validate it, or do you just pay it like a good little boy?

Why would the lab not bill you?

I have blood done every time I go and never been billed by the lab.

Had a similar situation with my wife except they sent her sample to an out of network lab. She called and bitched out the PCP and we didn't have to pay.

Medical debt is a joke anyway. Who cares.

Who wants to and up in collections and have it on credit report? Or be sued for some small amount. It’s a joke, but we lose.

I’d certainly pay what you owe or negotiate if it’s high.

Not paying anything with the big Labs like LabCorp and Quest and many other will result in them Fukin ur credit.

Sometimes you get a bill from the lab because the Pathologist bills for reviewing your results. They never do unless the results are extremely abnormal.

Call your insurance company to confirm your coverage for labs. Then have them go over the claim and bill to determine what your appropriate cost sharing should be

It could be a few different things, but without knowing your policy or the lab I wouldn’t be able to tell with certainty.

It could be that the lab was out of network for your plan. It could be that one of the test ordered was not covered by your plan. It could be that The lab never even submitted a claim to your insurance company. Best bet is to look at your explanation of benefits or call your insurance carrier to confirm what you should owe.
