Comment on If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 day agoWas it testing for something specific or was it just the standard panel you get with a physical? I only ask as that would be absurd unless it was specialized (like screening for a specific type of cancer), even for the US.
If it was just a regular blood panel, that is shady as hell and needs to be questioned.
To give reference, I just had my yearly and the three that they did would’ve been ~$200 without insurance; in the SF bay area, at that.

It was a specific persistent medication level that has been tested every year. It’s usually less than ~$50
