I have been charged for lab fees three of them for one office visit. I had a bump on my arm and the PA (physicians Assistant) diagnosed it as a blocked pore. Lifewise health was billed for an office visit, 262.00, $25.00 copay and three lab fees, of $63.08, $32.50 and $159.00 totaling $517.00! I was charged $25.00 for a copay and then leftover lab fees of $63.43. All for a bump on the arm!
The doctors are up-coding things so they can get higher payments from both the ins. Companies and the patient. Don't fall for it look your bills and ask questions! They are driving the costs up for everyone!
