I get free screening labs for spouse and kids if a doctor in my group that I work for, and is in my insurance network orders labs. out of my office is another 50 dr to choose from too that is my company.
As a perk my doctor will order DH labs and have them sent to DH doctor and I would have no co-pay. If DH dr orders them it will cost $300.
Our office accepts other doctors ordered lab results from Mayo Clinic, the VA from Hines, any outside hospital, and of out state doctor from our snow birds that go to florida and AZ and employee labs that are free from a competitor. And any company that provides their employees with their labs there as their benefits. We do not ask those patients to have labs redrawn because it would cost them money for the exact same lab. We also accept Walgreens and doc drug labs.
DH dr. says he will not accept the labs and keep DH as a patient, if someone else orders. Why? it is a lipid and yearly PSA. So DH might change dr because his colonoscopy is also free if done by a provided doctor and our insurance will allow him to go there without seeing primary. But the primary wants him to come in and let him decide which doctor to use. If primary picks it will cost 10% which will be $1000 to use.
Our DS dislocated his knees 4 times last year, I have lots of out of network doctors and PT bills. So I would like not to pay for something we could have for free. That why I wish to be cheap and let my drs order this year and yes DH dr aware of that.
