Anthem and Labcorp

Just a rant .....

Heads-up to everyone: If you have Anthem and are going for routine blood work, pls make sure you goto Quest and NOT Labcorp.

I went to labcorp, gave them my script and showed them my ID and provided by health insurance card.

Nothing was said about them being out of network(OON)

2 months later, I get a bill for $480 for routine blood work.

Anthem says Labcorp is OON and 480 goes towards my deductible and they'll NOT pay a penny.

Labcorp says, we billed you correctly.

The patient has the onus to verify coverage. Hindsight, I wish Labcorp would have provided an estimate or allowed me to do a self-pay.
