We Quit Cigarettes

Unless you can get your doc to order it?
I don't have insurance, I have to pay the amount on the left...which is BS.

Yeah, I don't either, now. Unless you count Obama care--which is no care at all until you've spent your ten grand.

In our case it doesn't matter if you or your doctor wants it. You still have to meet the criteria. This will likely vary state to state (unless it's medicare of course). Plus for us, it's a once a year thing.

So I better just call my lab and as them a price myself.
I'll do it tomorrow.

Watch the bastards quote me triple the insurance price.

This is why I need Kdog to go to the doctor now.



Tell her how ridiculous doctor stuff costs.
She doesn't believe me.

I have paid over $600 to be told I probably maybe have an irregular heartbeat that apparently everyone else in the world also has.

What the bastards quote me triple the insurance price.

Yup. If you're on your own they charge full price, which is always ridiculous. I got charged $150 for "wound care" at the dermatologist. They put on a dam bandaid. Not going back.

I think I hate medical/insurance prices more than anything else in this world.
The whole thing is a joke.

I am running on no insurance. Between Obama (don't) care and getting so sick I could not work.....

Anyway....
Find a lab that draws your blood and sends you (not the doctor) the results.

My full work up was about $150.

It is how we found hubs diabetes and subsequently mine. He went to the lab because it was less expensive than having the doctors office do the blood draw. No doctors orders needed either.

I can't wait to see my bill for the boob squishing.
I'm sure it's going to be ridiculous too.
My insurance covered it at 100%...I want to see what they charged.
