Bloodwork and insurance

[Smokescreen]

If I were to go to my doctor ( he knows I juice up )and he were to get a whole bunch of bloodwork done on me, would the results go to my insurance company? Or do they always stay with him?

yes i am

if though i guess u can tell a doc anything and he cant tell your insurance i prefer to keep it too my self

also on your proviron Q take it AM and PM 25 mg each time

My doc is somewhat cool. I guess I should ask him if my results go to insurance. What do you think? BTW...about the proviron. What if I just take both tabs in the morning? Would it be less effective?

Generally you sign a HIPA release that allows the doc to submit the stuff to your insurance for billing purposes. A certain amount of 'wellness exams' are covered by your insurance, however, you could always go to one of those 24 hour clinics and just not submit the visit to your insurance. I would advise talking to your doctor...he'll probably be able to tell you whats best for you.

Will do. Thanks.

The insurance company does not get the results of your bloodwork, they only get paperwork submitted to them that you had it done.

Would it make them suspicous if anything I wanted to get tested on me didn't sound right to them?

of course not - however, the insurance company might be skeptical of the reasons that prompted the necessity for the test (concurrent diagnosis, rx-regimen/treatemnt); talk to your doc and that should give an idea of what the insurers will be looking for/informed of to validate your request!
