I wish I knew which doctor requested the tests. The first doctor I interviewed to be my primary care doctor pulled some of what you describe but I questioned it and switched doctors. Yep Premier Medical. Definitely a charger pumper. He had been promoted to a lead worker .. likely because of the money he brought in. Not what I was looking for.

I always review and question the lab orders. Mistakes have been made for me.

Go to the supervisor of the person who ordered the tests. Who authorized the tests? Likely that doctor. Explain that unnecessary tests were done and that you request that the charges be removed. Perhaps they were intended for someone else and a mistake was made.
