OMG....drug urine test bill came today

OMG I just got another bill in the mail today...about 4+ months ago as some of you know I went to a pain management clinic because of my back pain and got back on the hydro then (which caused me to relapse/overuse/abuse the pills--so i quit again about a month ago). Anyhow, in addition to the $190 it cost me for that one single appt... I just got the bill from the Lab taht did the drug urine test..... $442!!!!!!! I cant even believe my eyes!! this was a URINE TEST, not a DNA test for god sakes! I cant even fathom how it would be so high!   I guess in a way i deserve this as punishment, but man...that is just CRIMINAL to charge that much for some pee!!!!  Just another reminder to me how much my addiction has cost me!!!

Ouch! I take it you had no insurance? Or is that after the insurance? I sure hope someone does something about health care soon! Before I die I hope!  Im still paying on one my hubby ran up with kidney stone surgery! 2000.00 after insurance paid their part! Yikes! Payment plan is what I suggest and hpe you dont have to have anything else done till its paid off or your in trouble!
