Anybody have an recommendations where to get labs run in the st john/CPT area?

 

[mmpsteve]

I've used The Franciscan facility at Parrish Avenue and 231 (route 8). Convenient for me and nice people. Do you need to stay in-network?

I would check to see who your insurance covers best. When I had Anthem, I strolled into St Anthony's lab and had them done, and got a bill for $400. Next time I went to Alverno in The Pointe plaza next to the bakery, and I had zero copay. I used Alverno after that for the entire time I was working. Now that I have Aetna, my copay for labs is $5 no matter where I go.

Looks like quest is in my network. Hmm.

Stupid dumb me, I see a Dr in st john in that community building. So I just figured you walk over to the lab there... No no no. $700 out of pocket the last time I went.

I had no idea you could walk out with your orders and go anywhere.

Again. Lifing...

 

[Snapdragon]

There's a Quest on 93rd just east of Broadway.

I mean, yea for sure. My issue is I have no idea what my network is. Lol

Get on your insurance's website and check. I do that every time I go to a new doctor or dentist or get new meds.

 

[CTC B4Z]

So I'm assuming I just call Quest and tell them I'm getting a physical from my Dr and will Bring my labs..?

Yes. The doctor would have given you paperwork. Or if you are part of the community hospital network it's all of their computers.

But call your insurance first to confirm what lab *AND* location, repeat AND location is in your plan. Otherwise you will get hit with a stupid high bill!

Ask jedi how jedi knows this bs!

Pretty sure you don't need to call. Maybe check their hours before you go, though.

I've learned not to trust people on the phone. I look on the website for myself.

Ask Snap how she knows this bs!

 

[jedi]

jedi has been burned BOTH ways.
BCBS claiming the website info was wrong.

BCBC rep saying yes LabCorp is in the plan. But alas the LabCorp satellite office jedi went to is NOT part of corporate so they are NOT in the plan.

The Franciscan Health group has a lab at their facility on Maple Ln. It is just off Rt231 (109th) and east of Parrish.
Use the physical therapy entrance.

But if Quest is in network, Franciscan may not be.

I think I have decided to definitely get a kit of tools. I need a drill, circular saw, maybe sawsall, perhaps one of those high torque impacts.

Maybe think about a multi tool instead of the Sawzall. Clutch tools at my house are: Drill, Impact, Circular and Multi. I can get pretty much anything done within those. Throw in a level and a square, you should be pretty good.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Multi tools are great but absolutely not a replacement for a Sawzall.

You Def need both
