[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1433220, member: 23726"] So I worked in this line of work for a while. Each test is different, but we sold a slide that could run multiple patients. The slide sold for about 13.50. It cost the company a few $ to make. Then quest would turn around and charge 50-70$ or more for the test. Yes there is some overhead with equipment and staff, but most of those tests cost very little individually. There is a lot of markup. Then think about what the people that don't have insurance pay... I'm sure teamcare/BCBS just works it out as a 3rd party insurance type of thing. Maybe similar to how we do surepost. Also diabetic testing strips, 50 of them cost less than 2$ to make. They charge how much for them now days? [/QUOTE]
