Ugh. Nooooo. That sucks. Maybe they just didn't code the tests correctly for billing/insurance? I have had insurance say they won't pay because the test is "unnecessary" but it ended up just being that the doctor didn't make it clear enough WHY they wanted that test.
No, I have to meet my deductible first. So the tests are counting towards the deductible but they should have done 1 test and if that came back fine then the second one should not have been done. That would have saved me $200-$250 off the total.
ETA: why does anything medical have to cost so much.
I'd call the hospital/office that ordered the tests. Tell them the second test was only supposed to be run if the first test came back a certain way, and because of that you feel it was unnecessary and shouldn't be run, and you'd rather not pay for it.
If that doesn't work, ask them how much it would cost you to pay it out of pocket rather than if they billed it to insurance. It's usually cheaper that way.

Ah, I see. I'm sorry. They definitely should not have ordered the second test with the first test and waited.

Last night DH went to sign up for Instagram ... and it said his email was being used. He just got a smartphone so he has had no reason to have Instagram ever. And when he choose forgot password to get a reset emailed to him it tells him the account is disabled. So bizarre. I am curious who used his email to attempt to open an Insta account.
So, I just read an article in my local newspaper. Apparently a (probably mentally ill) woman took off her shoes and stepped into the right lane of the freeway near here. She was hit by 4 different cars, including one that hit her WHILE SHE WAS LYING IN THE ROAD.
Somehow, her only injury is a bruise above her eye.
The saddest part? Out of the 4 cars that hit her, only one actually stopped.
TheEleventhHour, titania - that was my thought! I mean, the police say that each car hit her with only a "glancing blow" but seriously - how do you not STOP when you think you've hit someone? Especially since it's rare to see drivers actually get charged with a crime for hitting someone who was illegally walking on a freeway (obviously you'd get charged for hitting construction workers, police officers, EMTs, etc).
mosdub....get well soon. I would go tell them that since you called it has gotten worse and that you don't want them now getting sick so you would like to reschedule.
By the time I was feeling worse I was already there. I worked all day and was on my feet - when I sat down I realized how icky I felt. I came home and have a low fever so I'm going to lay low and skip work tomorrow :/ I feel bad I went to the office but I didn't want to be a wimp about it.
