What is the name of your state? NY
My doctor who accepts my Health Insurance plan sent my blood samples to a lab that does not accept my health insurance. I was never asked if it was OK to send my blood sample to an out of Network lab. Now the lab is asking me to pay $639.00. My insurance refuses to pay because it says that the lab is not covered by them.
My doctor says that the best he could do is to write a letter saying that the lab work was needed. How is that going to satisfy the lab? They want payment. It is not right that I should pay for something I never authorized.
What can I do about this?
