Bloodwork costs

[amanda365 0]

I am paying cash for my lapband. But they are requiring that I pay for my own bloodwork. Does anyone know how much this usually is? And what kind of tests they do?

Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply. Who did you get your blood tests through?

If you have insurance, I made a physical and had them do it there and just gave them a list of what was needed by my surgeon. Hopefully this works. I am self pay also. I did the pulmonary (spell) test also with my physical. We will see if it works. I am going to submit my psych eval to the insurance to. Might as well see what they will pay for. Anything will help, right?

Hello,

I have insurance but I still got the bill that gave the total paid by the insurance company.

In addition to bloodwork there is Radiology, Cardiovascular testing, sleep study, Nutritionist, and psychological consult. I only had to pay out of pocket the co pay, but total cost was approximatley $3500.00 here in North Carolina. I hope this helps. I still got a couple pre op visits before my surgery so it may be close to $4000 or more.

I am in Houston and using True Results. I paid the $150 to them and that was for the blood work which was done at Quest Diagnostics.
