I would decline to pay the bill on the basis that you did not authorize the test and that it is not routine by any measure. I have had blood tests administered at TV hospital, Leesburg Hospital, Rush University Hospital, Mass General Hospital and numerous doctor’s offices in TV. Not once have I been tested for HIV. The test was unnecessary and likely a profit builder for the lab/doctor. Did the doctor specifically request the test?
No, I wouldn’t pay that portion of the bill and I would clearly explain that to the physician involved.
I also wouldn’t go to Ocala for simple medical services.
