Physical, blood work, vaccines, flu shot. It all added up. The office visit was about $120 if I would have gone in to talk with no tests, shots. Some items were covered 100% as preventative. My deductible hasn't been met yet, so I am paying for the full cost after negotiated discount and the preventative's. I had 3 different labs run, each was around $100. So of the $1500 they billed, $1000 of it was covered as preventative or with discounts, and $500 was my responsibility since my deductible hasn't been met.
I've just never had labs cost that much before. I may investigate having the routine labs done elsewhere and the results sent in.
