so i haven't had insurance for awhile now and i had gone to Planned Parenthood for an exam and the nurse there had given me a list of clinics in the area to go get bloodwork to determine if i actually have PCOS. the clinics that i called are saying i am not eligable to go there so now i am stuck. i want to get this bloodwork so i can actually have answers to the things that have been going on with my body. does anyone know how much it costs for the PCOS tests so maybe i can just go to a doctor and pay for the tests on my own.

My initial labs were just denied by my insurance and I am shoked at how much those labs cost. We’re going to recode and resubmit since the actual purpose of those labs was to diagnosis PCOS/irregular cycles and not infertility and that should take care of the issue... I sure hope so because those labs were expensive and we just don‘t have that money lying around. My appt was denied but resubmitted and pending, ultrasound was coded correctly and covered.
The cost of living where we are located is a little high so I’m not sure if that affects the lab costs or not but here is what the initial diagnostic testing cost without insurance...
So far I am 123$ from a dr who charged the insurance with the wrong diagnosis code and would not change it for me.
Also, I thought I would have insurance for the appointment I just went to on the 10th and come to find out I don't think I did/do. I don't even want to know how much it's going to cost me. I still need to get the labs done, I'm really anxious about getting them done soon so I can get everything taken care of.
My last RE ran a panel of thyroid, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, liver enzymes (prep for met), and basic bloodwork and the total before insurance touched it was $900 just for blood. A lot of un or under-insured cysters have gotten their metformin from Walmart for $4, but you have to have liver tests done periodically.

I'm not sure where you live, but look into going to a local health department or rural health clinic. In 2006, my husband's company went on strike, and we lost our health insurance. I went to a local rural health clinic that based care (and bloodwork) on your income. That's one of the best ways to get health care, because it's pretty affordable, and you'll be able to get the care you need without breaking the bank.

i leave in ga. i have no insurance it is very hard for me to pay out of pocket. ( doct visit, meds, blood tests, etc.) the last time i was at the doc i payed almost $1000 just for half the stuff i needed to get tested. i am not one who like gov. assi. but i need it to atleast help with just doc. because i have bad pains and need to see the doctor. im afraid that one day this may turn into cancer or something. i pray for all like me who dont have the fund of insurance to go tot the doctor and get medicine. if anyone want to talk feel free to wite me
so far it didnt cost me aanything with my insurance, i just pay my copay everytime i have a doctors visit which is $25.00. my ultrasounds and bloodwork were free with my insurance... i work at cvs and i have there insurance(aetna) which is pretty good...
cost of PCOS testing without insurance..?
