So my lovely wife went in for a regular pap and physical. A couple months later, without having received any report of the results, I get an invoive from the lab (LabCorp) that did the work for about $300.

I call up my insurance company (Aetna) and they say it's a newer more expensive pap test, that they don't cover and they're not sure why they would have ordered it.

I call up LabCorp and they say pretty much the same thing.

When I talk to the doctor, she says that it's my responsibility to know what my insurance covers and what it doesn't. But I thought it was reasonable to assume that the doc would run a regular pap and it would be covered.

SOooo, now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. I don't want to pay $300 for what should have been a normal routine exam. Shouldn't the doctor have informed my wife and I that this would be a more expensive/thorought/whatever test and might not be covered?

It's stuff like this that make people afraid to go to the doctor...*sigh*

I'm going to start studying nursing this year, with a view to becoming a midwife. I'd love to hear some info about how other nurses find their jobs in terms of what you love and loathe about it. Also, if anyone is a nurse in a homoeopathic hospital (eg Britain) I'd love to know how that is.... (I am currently a homoeopath).

Sorry about this question, but I can not get over the majority of the answers to the question 'Why do some packets of peanuts have the warning May contain nuts on them.'
I believe we all have some false believes.

i have no idea what caused this but ever since two weeks ago my face can go from being normal to being completely red within seconds. strangely enough i can feel it coming on and its like this flush of heat flows up thru my neck to my face. i dont even need to do exercise anymore to go red it just happens and its made me really self conscious. sometimes the redness might not go away till half an hour does anyone know something i could use or do to preventing these outbursts from happening its making me really uncomfortable

When I was about ten years old, I kept getting tonsillitis, and I had to go into the hospital to have them taken out . When my niece was a little girl, she kept getting tonsillitis, but her doctor wasn't in any hurry to take them out . Now I've learned that doctors try "wait and see" with tonsils instead of taking them out right away . Is this safe ? I know that tonsillitis is caused by badly infected tonsils, and carrying badly infected tonsils around in your throat can't be safe . What's wrong with a good old -- fashioned tonsillectomy ?

This morning I was lying in bed, half asleep, then all of a sudden my body felt paralyzed and I thought I was being electrocuted. I had a full body shake and I could not stop myself. All I could do is let out a scream. It did not hurt, but felt as though I was having a "seizure". I am on Effexor XR and I have heard of brain shivers, is this one of those? It has happened before, can anyone give me any idea about what it could be?

Been having real problems in my council property over the past 18 months with water leaking in from the roof, have found out recently that it was a run off drain from the roof that was blocked. I am now waiting for the council to "make good" the property but have just been told that the artex on the ceiling could contain asbestos, as it is we have been suffering a lot of chest infections which the dr had put down to damp on the walls (damp thats a joke the water was pouring down the wall!!), I was wondering if the damp ceiling, which is now turning a nice shade of green, that "could" contain asbestos might be harmful to our health? As I have also had 3 miscarriages in the last year wondered if it could be linked?? (I have just been referred to a specialist re miscarriages and may be clutching at straws with that last question!)

Well, I think I feel a moderate pain in the upper right part of the stomach. I guess thats the liver (but am not sure). I don't drink or smoke...so its not very common to have liver disorder.
The slight pain occurs at most during the morning btw.


Thanks alot
