Never sign a doctor or medical facility form that says ESTIMATED COST

I was having routine blood work done by Quest and was told that one of the tests wasn't covered by my insurance. So I had the other tests done and, when I got home, called Quest to find out the cash price, that is the worst case scenario, for that test that I skipped. But I also called my doctor's office and they re-coded the test. I went back to Quest with the re'coded prescription and it was covered by insurance. But at least I knew the cash price if it weren't covered and I wanted to get it done anyway.

@callalloo I recently had the same thing happen, also with Quest. Except they sent me a bill for $500! Somewhere there was a mix-up, the dr office pointing at Quest for not taking their re-coding of a test, Quest pointing the finger at the dr office for not sending it in. So they sent it to a collection agency! I have all the documentation and phone calls listed, including to Medicare. And have heard nothing in the last 6 weeks. First time there had been a mess-up like this!
