[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They also need to rule out pregnancy in order to prescribe certain medications and tests. [b]Also patients lie allllllll the time, OP.[/b] [/quote] Yes. NP. I'm a pediatrician and have diagnosed pregnancy in a couple dozen teenagers -- who deny any sexual activity at all -- in clinic and the ED. You'd think it would be more rare, but it's more common than you think.[/quote] OP here. Yes I understand this. But DD is not denying being sexually active, she's 22 for christ sake. This is not what I'm hung up on at all. My point is she was not informed, and did not consent. And on her bill there is separate charge for the test, which to me means it's an "add on". Perhaps I am wrong, which is why I came here to ask. Also, I do not get copies of the itemized bills with our claims, so this is a bill DD chose to show me because it's an additional $37 she now has to pay and was annoyed as she's on a tight budget and didn't request the test. [/quote] It appears as a separate charge because it isn't administered to men, thus it's not part of any other panel of tests that they routinely run. [/quote]
