How much do the blood tests cost?

[csmokingmanx]

Hello,

I understand the initial consultation is $300. If you go visit him you pay this fee, meet with him and then you are sent home to take blood tests. How much do these tests and analysis cost? I know insurance can't be used on the consultation but will my insurance company pay for the blood tests?

Thanks,
CSMan

I believe the initial consult is $495. Blood and urine tests depend on your insurance company, some people have had good luck with BCBS.

If you have insurance at all, chances are there is some lab in your area that takes said insurance. For mine I had to check their website and call someone, but figured out quickly where I needed to have the labs sent/done in order to be covered (Labcorp luckily). The doctor's office will of course not do this for you, they will just send the labs to wherever you specify, so you have to make sure you are being your biggest advocate. Good luck.
