Here's what you tell the bedside snore monster
Doctors who own their diagnostic lab and imaging facilities are frowned upon by most insurance companies because they are essentially "self referring". As such, studies have shown an over-utilization of these facilities, and more and more unnecessary tests are ordered by doctors to increase revenue. Ordering EKG's on 20 yo patients and ordering x-rays of the body when the injury is obviously soft tissue and not bone LOL. Cha-ching! So tell her who cannot be named that because the doctor owns his own lab, they probably check all boxes as a result to bill the insurance companies a higher rate, even though you didn't obviously need a full STD panel since she knows very well you are more faithful than a Golden Retriever and cleaner than a Catholic nun LMAO.
Steak.
[QUOTE=Camera3;4565763]So, I recently changed primary care docs. One advantage of the new doc was that he has a lab in his clinic. When I went in to get my first annual exam and was sent for blood and pee, the form I had to sign had a bunch of boxes for any tests I wanted to add or delete. "STDs" was one of the options, so I checked it. I was clean (as I expected) but the results was not separate from the rest of the report, just a few results mixed in among the other 20-30 tests they ran.
I guess if she who snores in my bed was to see it and ask why that was tested I could easily say, "I don't know. Just part of the panel, I guess."
I like that! I can't tell you other guys how to get it.
