Getting blood work - discounted labs

NY Muscle · Mar 21, 2015

Going to get some lab work, I think this is rather inexpensive. I also think all I need is the:

https://www.directlabs.com/access/OrderTests/tabid/10312/language/en-US/Default.aspx

Comprehensive Wellness Profile (CWP) for $125.

The other fees I found:

Pay DirectLabs® an access fee of $24.00. Payment is made by credit card. DirectLabs® accepts all major credit cards. Requisitions are non-refundable.

The amount you will pay the PSC is the cost of the tests PLUS a $10 draw fee.

This all seem pretty reasonable for a test like that? I plan to fast.

My insurance is weird, after hitting $6,000 deductible (during this time insurance pays everything 100%) I then pay 100% until the next $6,000 is met then its like 80/20 so right now I am paying 100% of anything, Dr visits, drugs, etc.

I would assume blood work like this would cost a lot more than $159? ($125 + $24 + $10)

I take it you're from NY? There is only very few options for us and it sucks. Labcorp self pay isn't that expensive. I think they give a break and have some sort of payment thing for self pay. My insurance covers 100% now but before it didn't and I ended up saving money by buying the requisition and just self paying at the lab. Check the prices with them and compare.
