Having problems with Labcorp - My husband who is disabled and on social security disability has Medicare and Ohio Medicaid went to visit his parents in Florida after his mom broke her hip during a fall. He got sick in Florida and went to an urgent care where they sent him out for blood work; he never received the blood work results but he did get a bill that Medicare did not pay entirely only partially and because he doesn't have Florida Medicaid the blood work is not covered. Now, he's stuck with the bill that's over $2,000 and Labcorp wants their money and sent him to collections and threatening to ruin his credit. What can he do to pay this bill and save his credit?

Did you receive a Medicare statement? How did it read? This is just an ex.
Labcorp charged
2000
Medicare approved
200
Medicare paid
160
you owe
40
Medicare is really bad about paying for labs. But you are only responsible for the 20% of what Medicare approves. In my example its $40.
Also, I would contact the Urgent Care facility and request a copy of the blood work be sent to your home.
Did husband sign that he would be responsible for paying when at urgent care?
