Losing my mind over blood test!!

**Garbanzo Dude** · 05-13-2008, 01:29 PM

So I went to the doctor to get my blood work done about a month ago....I don't have insurance so they charged me $50 bucks for the visit and today I got a bill for $1304 from the lab!!! Surely I thought it was a mistake and called them to correct it....guess what they said nope those charges are all correct! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! F'*ck "Diamonad Laboratory"

depending on what they check it can be expensive.

What did you expect. You didnt ask first?

Dude I told the guy I didn't have insurance at this time....he didn't give me any kind of warning....all the the other times that I had blood work done...all I had to pay was my $15 co-pay. I got laid off from a small 1099 company no COBRA no unemployment....this sucks......I hope they are willing to settle for less!

ahhh Canada. All the free health care you need up here buddy. I could get my blood checked ONCE MONTHLY if I wanted.

So the girl from the doctors office called me back and said it sounds too high to them also....They will contact them on my behalf shortly?? They better get me more than $100 discount!!
