Lab Not Under Contract Posted: 03-19-07 17:08pm
I had a couple of visit to a hospital to
take blood and urine test.
My insurance company, PPO, covered all the
cost except for this.
The lab that the hospital sent the samples
to was not within network.
The reason he explained about choosing the
lab is that he is dealing with only that
lab. I wasn't aware of all of these facts.
Am I still responsible for this?

unfortunatly yes. before you have
procedures done, you need to contact your
group and have them advise you what
labs/doctors/hospitals/facilities are in
your network...and you can advise your
doctor of this and he can refer you out to
another facility to do your lab work....
your doctor most likely has a contract
with this company...however you have the
right to request that you got to another
lab for your tests.
