CLAIM DENIAL

Maria Jacobson was shocked when she received a $3,437 bill from Quest Diagnostics for a routine blood test, despite providing her health insurance information at the time of the visit. It turns out that Quest Diagnostics mistakenly used an old insurance code, leading to the full amount being billed directly to her. Despite repeated attempts to correct the error, the issue persisted. The situation highlights ongoing concerns with Quest Diagnostics' billing practices, where errors like these can leave patients with unexpectedly high charges, causing unnecessary stress and financial strain.
