Excellent info, Dr. P! I use LabCorp and I am going to look into doing this for my cash-only patients on Monday, oops -- Tuesday. Forgot the holiday (I'll be on call, so it didn't register).

Both Quest and Labcorp can do a special pricing to pass on the savings to the patients. The patient gets the discount if they pay at time of service, otherwise, we let the lab send them the bill. They do this once and never again, once they see the lab bill which is outrageously high, about ten times higher than they would pay us.
