Coverage of labs and other testing is complicated and to a great extend depends on the type of insurance you carry. Most routine tests are covered and will be filed through your insurance. As always, deductibles and extent of coverage needs to be taken into account. Occasionally, insurance will deny coverage of what is considered routine testing by physicians, and even through we can appeal and dispute these charges, if in the end the insurance declines to cover the testing, you may be responsible for the cost. Lastly, there are tests your physician may consider crucial for evaluation of your condition that are not covered by insurance. We will discuss these test and the associated costs with you prior to ordering and order only with your permission. For patients with high insurance deductibles, we have very cost effective alternatives.

While some practices and providers will order initial testing prior to your first visit, we prefer a more personalized approach to evaluation and treatment.

Also, some patients may have had labs or specialized testing recently.
