I just took my child to the doctor and paid the office visit copay. Why have I now received a bill for lab work done?
A. Many doctors offices will process their own blood work, urine analysis and possibly their own x-rays. Sometimes they must send these tests out but will charge for all services under their own billing. If the doctors office sends the lab work or x-rays off and they are billed separately through the other vendor (hospital, Quest, etc.), you will be responsible for the charges. These charges will work to satisfy part of your deductible and/or out-of-pocket maximum.
