LabCorp sends a bill every time anyone anywhere has blood work done. They most often claim that it’s the insurance company’s required co-pay amount. Translate that as institutionalized extortion underwritten by the United States Government, i.e. campaign contributions equaling the removal or non-enforcement of GOOD regulation. Believe in unregulated free enterprise? Then, pay it. You’re dealing with the mob. This is the epitome of American health care; a feeding frenzy of piranhas that know how to work the system better than a Filipino marriage broker. Me love you long time.

Anyone have any mysterious credit card charges purporting to be from “LABCORP 8008456167″ of Burlington, NC? I went to LabCorp in December 2009 and paid the patient portion of the bill at that time, so I do not understand why an additional charge for $6.80 suddenly appeared on my VISA record yesterday (1/5/2010). They have not notified me that I owe anything! I am wondering if “LABCORP 8008456167″ is even the LabCorp I went to, or if it is a different (scam) company.

I have read that some credit card thieves bill small amounts, often under $10, because people are likely to overlook such a small amount and the credit card companies are even less likely to go after them, as the effort to recover costs them more than that, and (if my info isn’t outdated), they are not legally required to help you get the money back anyway for amounts under $30.

You may have used LabCorp and not have even known, and they could have overbilled. LabCorp cuts deals with individual doctors and multiple doctor offices for the doctors to send the labwork to LabCorp. Your doctor may have sent your bloodwork to LabCorp and charged your insurance. I would cash the check as I doubt that they would send you the money unless they owed it to you. They only make mistakes when it’s to their advantage.

I received a refund check in the mail from Labcorp yesterday. I have never been to labcorp, but I did use quest diagnostics over a year ago. Is this check some how tied to this matter? Do you think it is legit? There is no explanation letter with it and I was a little Leary of cashing it in case it was a scam.
