Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I find this so interesting--the normal cost for my regular PCR test is $845--which thankfully insurance covers. Recently, I started to receive reimbursement checks directly from my insurance provider (BC/BS) for my April PCR test. Normally this is sent directly to the lab. For some reason they sent it to me. First check came to me for $463, then another one for $5505, then another one for $752.. I wondered what was going on and who was standing to make some money here. I called the lab (Genoptix) and asked them to send me the invoice for April vs January (last 2 tests). The April test came to a whooping $9655!!! I called the doc's office who said they didn't ask for anything different. I called Blue Cross who said they were just responding to what the lab sent them. Another call to the lab, then finally today, a call from my doc's office. They had checked some wrong boxes on the lab request form--thus additional tests were done which were not really needed (I have been pcru since January). Lordy. So, I will send the reimbursement checks to the lab since they are legit tests. Hard to believe that checking some wrong boxes led to an additional $8000 plus in expenses.
