Bloodwork/Labs
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2021 10:50 pm
Does anyone know of inexpensive options for obtaining blood tests? I need LFT monitoring 6x/year (ALT is the specific test) but with my insurance it is $50 per blood test. I've looked at all health insurance options during open enrollment and none of them have a lower amount. I am not working enough hours for an employer on a W2 to qualify for any health insurance plans, which I imagine would have much more reasonable fees for something that certainly doesn't cost more than a dollar for the lab.
I did some web searches for lab companies and found one with a lower rate, but it seems there are restrictions per MA law (where I am currently) on getting bloodwork because it said that company could not offer services in MA due to the law. I was not able to find more about it or which companies are affected, anyone know anything about it?
Thanks!
