Myriad Genetic Laboratories rip off company salt lake city Nationwide
The same thing happened to me in which this has to be a fraudulent, scamming, rip off company to bill patients these outlandish bills for test. I was told by my doctor since cancer run in my family to do a genetic cancerous test and that most likely my insurance company will cover everything. That he never has a problem out of insurance companies taking care of the lab fees with Myriad genetic laboratories. He told me worse case scenario, I may owe a few hundred between $200.00-$300.00 (IF) they bill anything it may not be no more than that.
BUT.. Expect my fees for the company to be covered since, I’m with bcbs so when he told me that, I agreed! My doctor who is my obgyn Michael Perry called me last week to inform me that the test results came back negative, and I received letter from Myriad notifying me of the steps in getting tested with them. I looked at my claims online with my insurance company on 8-14-2017, and saw 3 outstanding claims that where DENIED with a total of $6,040.00 worth of lab fees which was CRAZY! Now how can genetic test even cost this much money ANYWHERE, and how are these people getting away with ripping patients off like this? I’m totally confused at all of this, and it was my doctors responsibility to check my insurance coverage before they even submitted these test.
Nevertheless, I will NOT PAY NONE OF THESE FEES! I was told by Dr. Perry that, I wouldn’t have to worry and my insurance will cover everything. I’m reading all of these bad reviews on this company and it’s obvious they have been doing this mess for years which is RIDICULOUS! Imagine the people that don’t catch on or look at their bills etc! If I would’ve known they would’ve tried to play games and charge me like this, I wouldn’t have NEVER EVER EVER took this test EVER! The test isn’t even needed, and I only took it because my doctor told me it would be a good idea. Then after he re assured me I wouldn’t have any worries about the cost of the test and would be covered I SAID WHY NOT! I’ve complained with the BBB, and will be calling other people regarding this issue! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND CRAZY!
