Your insurance may contract with your doctor, but not with the lab he’s sending your samples to. It’s bullshite, but you have to find out before or you will pay.

So you are saying that before you contract a service, you should know exactly what service you are being provided?

What a novel idea.

Surprising how many docs are "silent" owners of these labs. Same with facilities.

My insurance is supposed to pay for a free colonoscopy every 5 years. Yes that doctors fee was covered but not the facility (doc was a part owner) and that was about 1,200 more. Also not covered was the anesthesiologist (also a part owner of the facility) for another 1,800 for about 15 min of work.

You are not far off base and they get very froggy when you try and decipher the costs before the procedure. I was literally 5 mins from being wheeled in when I had to sign for the anesthesiologist and his bill.
