Sounds to me like that is an exorbitant amount to charge for one blood test. With their already tarnished reputation, it seems like a bold scam on unsuspecting new patients. I wouldn't pay it and would definitely dig deeper for explanations. Make them refile with correct codes or something. That happens a lot. Also, report to Medicare. I use Alliance Labs for labwork and they always let you know if an ordered test might not be covered by Medicare. I recommend you give Rivers Family Practice (near hospital) a try for primary care. We have always gotten good care and treatment there. Good luck!
