Is there an additional cost for a lab test referral with DrHouse?

The lab test referral itself is included in the cost of your virtual visit with a DrHouse doctor. Here’s a breakdown of the potential costs and what to expect:

  • Virtual visit fees: The fee for your virtual consultation with a DrHouse doctor covers the assessment, any discussion regarding your health concerns, and the lab test referral itself. If you’re using insurance, this may involve a copay or coinsurance based on your plan’s telehealth coverage.
  • Lab testing fees: While the referral cost is covered in your DrHouse visit, the actual lab tests performed at Labcorp may have separate fees, depending on the type of tests and your insurance coverage. Labcorp’s fees vary based on the test complexity and whether your insurance provider is in-network.
  • Insurance and payment options: If you have insurance, your lab tests may be fully or partially covered depending on your plan. For those without insurance, Labcorp provides transparent pricing so you’ll know the exact cost before testing.
  • Transparent communication: DrHouse aims to keep pricing straightforward, so you’ll always know what to expect.

In summary, your DrHouse visit includes the lab referral at no extra cost, while the fees for the lab tests themselves may vary. DrHouse works to make every step, including costs, as transparent and accessible as possible.
