. My daughter went in for a 5 hr blood sugar GTT test and the bill comes out to $1336.70!!! When I went with her they said my part would be $192.00.(Have Insurance) Now they send me a bill for $336.14. I ask for an itemize bill. on it they have CBC w/auto diff -- Comprehensive metabolic panel==T4 Thyroxine==T3 Uptake==Thyroid Stimulating Hormone==Vitamin B-12== Folate== along with the fasting blood sugar 5hr GTT down for 5 times and then Venipuncture
Now how can this be??? They only drew her blood 5 times and was just suppose to be checking for sugar!! It seems the diagnostic clinic which I am getting a bill from the Hospital is trying to really screw me. She also had to take a tilt table test and passed out on it so they refuse to let me take her home and put her in the hospital. Now they are billing me another 301.98 for that. I paid the test cause I thought that was the hospital bill. So now I refuse to pay the hospital bill till I know what is going on over there!!

Something doesn't sound right there I had a glucose tolerance test too and it didn't cost that much.

before you pay call the insurance sometimes they are sending you somethign to explain to you but nothign is due. so be careful cause its easy to over pay but hard to get it back.
