I recently had a full metabolic panel done through LabCorp. My insurance will not pay for it as my benefit for this service is used up. The bill is for $2167.00. They agreed to discount this to $1300.00. The contracted rate from my insurance plan for the same services is $345.98. They are charging me four times the amount they agreed to take from my insurance carrier. I have been told there is nothing they can do. When I asked how they justified charging a client four times what they charge an insurance company I was told it was company policy. Soon I will be going in to collections. This is utterly ridiculous. They are taking complete advantage of their clients. Their actions should be illegal.
