If my doctor ordered me bloodwork to be done at a diagnostics center, will i have to pay another co-pay to the diagnostic center even though I have already paid one at my doctor's office?

depending on the lab and your coverage. typically if you use a lab in a hospital they will just bill you. otherwise if it happens the same day and they want another co-pay tell them the doc sent you there and you dont have the money on hand after paying the doc. they will usually work with that.

Depending on your coverage. If you have a lab co-pay then you will probaby have to pay again. Some benifits cover lab work. Call your health care provider customer service to check the plan you have.

most insurances treat lab differently, prob not...call ahead and ask if its a concern.
