As a courtesy to our patients, we have a staff person drawing blood in our office. Whenever possible, your samples will be collected in our office and sent to the lab indicated by your insurance company. The lab charges are billed directly from the lab facility. Billing issues related to lab work should be addressed directly to the lab facility and/or your insurance carrier. Some lab tests may not be covered by your insurance plan and you may be responsible for the charges. Make sure you read your policy and are familiar with your coverage.
