Let me vent my disgruntled medical bills.

This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ?
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me $ 90 for the test ! The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life.On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ? I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Well, it's different from Japanese hospitals. ?
I know you wrote that $90 is ! different from 30% of everything in Japan, so
I'd be relieved if it was less than $100.
At any rate, I'm glad everything is okay. If you distrust doctors and clinics,
just switch. It's a country where you can do that without regret.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Blood test fee $ 90 is cheap.
I had an allergy test done before, but the items were very detailed, about 100 items, and the co-pay was $ 220.
I was surprised that my insurance didn't cover it ? but
I was convinced that it clarified where my allergy was coming from.
I heard that a friend of mine had an allergy test in Japan
for 219 food sensitivities and paid 5,000 yen, 15,000 yen at 30% of the cost, so it is not an unsatisfactory medical bill.
A patch test, not a blood test, can be done even when eczema is not present, but the cause may be unknown.

Thank you for your comment !
I was frustrated because if my child did not have a blood test, it would have been a few dollars for a 2 year old check up, but $ it was 90. I had visited this pediatrician many times for other than the usual checkups, but I was not prepared for this because they always $ never charged more than 20. If I thought for sure it should be expensive $ 90 might have seemed cheap.
And the allergy test was for me, not the child, and I have not yet received a bill for it. So it may be a test that is not covered by insurance ! I will call my doctor and check before I wait for the bill !
I was wondering if there is more of a problem with the blood test lab than with the doctor's office regarding these two events. I wondered if anyone else has had problems with blood testing recently, but there doesn't seem to be any.

#5 Mr. Worried
Maybe I wrote that wrong.
$ 220 for blood test was
$ 220 co-pay with insurance.
Without insurance $ it would be over 1000.
I know you are angry about the mismanagement of your child's blood test, but
$ 90 is good because it bought you peace of mind ?

As far as I know, blood tests are usually ordered by the doctor to the lab. The amount charged depends on what is being tested for and how many items are being tested. And I think the percentage covered depends on the type of insurance you have.
