[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 633822, member: 1514"] While I do have medicare and medicaid, I get EOB's that show what they charge, what medicare pays and then it has a little letter next to it saying it is referring it over to medicaid for payment. For me, if they take medicare they have to accept what medicare pays. Medicaid just picks up all copays. Quite helpful when you only get 800 a month. However what I was getting at is that on my EOB it says that the test is charged at somewhere around $158 per test. Once for the little cup in the office and then the same amount for the one they send out. Now I dont believe it costs that much for the one in the office and I dont believe they send everyone of them out. I did have an issue about a year and a half or so ago where this place tried to tell me that my labs where coming back saying that I didnt have the metabolites in my urine for my medication which meant I must not be taking them. There was no way that was correct. For one thing they tried to tell me it went back 9 months and I know pain clinics would have never let me go that long with a bad urine test. Number two, I take my medications religiously. When they told me that I immediately went to another outside lab and had my blood tested...same day...and everything came back perfect. They wouldnt accept those outside results. Turns out someone in that office was dirty and was messing things up. It is a whole new operation now. I like them much better. [/QUOTE]
