C3D

[Debbie1]

We have UHC which requires us to go to Labcorp for bloodwork. Our doctor has ordered some repeat bloodwork including C3D. The doctor has requested the C3D test before, we have gone to labcorp for it and they do not send results in to the office. My latest understanding is that labcorp does not run this test. Does anyone know where to go to have it done without paying huge out of pocket expenses?

 

Thanks,

Debbie

I believe Quest Diagnostics is nationwide; we had our CD3 done there. I think all you need is a doctor's order; they prefer if your doctor is a "member" with them, because then the doctor will be in their computer, and the results are conveyed electronically. But we got our Dr. K. ordered tests there, and he does not participate in their system. So, with his address and fax number, they conveyed the results to him, and I signed a release with my mailing address, and they mailed me a copy of the test results, as well.

 

Our insurance covered it, but I just got the statement so I can tell you what the lab would have charged on a "face rate" had they not been part of my PPO group. The CD3 would have been $141.00, best as I can tell.

Labcorp is preferred but I believe UHC covers Quest too. I went there Tuesday- I have been there before and have never had a problem.

I would call and check first- I got scared and tried to look it up and see if it was in- network and I could not find anything-I am going to be ticked if she did not tell me they were out of network!! But UHC had a number of other labs that are considered in network but labcorp is their first choice. Go to MYUHC.com look for labs.

When our lab doesn't run the test themselves, I always notice on the results page that it will say, "performed at ______ lab" so I always assumed if they don't run it in-house, they outsource it so i would think that any lab should be able to draw the blood and ship it out to a partner lab?

Brandy,

 

I would just caution you that our Labcorp confuses this test with another test. I just took two of my kids in again last week for bloodwork and this test was requested again. Then they showed me where the result was on previous bloodwork, but it was not the test the doctor wanted. We just called our insurance company who said we can go to Quest within 14 days before or after an appointment with the doctor and it will be covered. I know Quest runs this test properly. I hope you don't have a problem with your results.
