1 ReactionCan you tell me if those from NY can take advantage of this???
This is super helpful! Thanks for posting!
@ans,
amazingly New York only allows direct to patient lab orders specifically related to otc products. The language is interesting in the filing for these few labs orders in that it reassures medical doctors that their power is not intentionally usurped. New Jersey and Rhode Island are equally restrictive.
That was my assumption. I am taking a very intensive course teaching root causes of osteoporosis and it has been a bear and expensive trying to get the testing wanted to understand how my body is doing in variety of critical areas ie , gut health, hormone status, etc . Soo frustrating. The costs of medical therapies , in my opinion , would go down if people could understand , get the treatment needed instead of waiting for the things to go drastically wrong and then just giving you pills to cover up the symptoms. Functional and Western medicine could actually work together to the betterment of the health of America - which right now is abysmal!!! Just my opinion!!!

1 ReactionQuest is charging me $217.77 for the CTX test.
My doctor ordered the test but something is wrong.
I’ve contacted the doctor’s office several times about this.
CPT code is 82523
What other code does Quest need?

Quest charged $217.77 for CTX
Ordered through Jason drawn by Quest-$50
Who gets the $167.77?

The order sent by my endo to Quest has the order code of 16609 for p1np and 17406 for ctx, same as Jason health's. The total price you are looking at is inflated retail cash price. The actual cost of the test is definitely much less than that - ctx less than $50 since no one would like to run the operation at a loss.
It is only a better price than some other patient- pay sites. Yes, women with endocrinologist who will not write script for bone markers pay more. These penalized patients pay for the script, for the draw, and for the lab work.
And because their doctors are not willing to participate, insurance pays nothing.
I have bone marker labs every three months and it costs me nothing.
