Is it true that if you go to your doctor for a blood test it is free?

WITH insurance.

You mean labs for pregnancy? No, not exactly. If you have Medicaid, yes. All other insurances either have a copay for each visit and a percentage copay for labs, or some insurances have one basic payment up front at your first visit to cover all prenatal care.

Hmmm...no I think you need insurance! But you can go to your local health department and the blood test is free! Or you could go to plan parenthood and the blood test is free!

NO!!!!! it all depends on your deductible i went in for one w/ insur and paid the co pay and still got billed for diffrent tests it wasnt for the full amount of the tests but the insurence didnt pay all that much eather but if you are an state health or something it could be different it all depends on who covers you.

Depends on what your insurance coverage gives- as well as your deductible.
With it being a new yesr- you may have a new deductible to meet.
Just take a home test- just as accurate.

DEPENDS ON YOUR INSURANCE, WHAT IF ANY DECUCTIBLES YOU HAVE, IF THE LAB YOU HAVE BLOOD DRAWN AT IS 'IN NETWORK". TOO MANY VARIABLES TO GIVE DEFINATE ANSWER- CALL THE NUMBER ON INSURANCE CARD AND ASK. THEY WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A LIST OF WHERE TO GO (IF APPLICABLE) AND WHAT COST ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Yes it is true if your doctor does not like money too much.
