FURIOUS!

I just found out that my doctor did CF (Cystic Fibrosis) screening on my bloodwork without my consent! I'm FURIOUS! That test is around $1000 and is NOT covered by my insurance!! I am so angry that I could SPIT! My insurance company went ahead and put in for a review at my request so that the doctor has a chance to explain why it was needed, but I know that they're still going to deny it in the end because, well, IT'S NOT A NECESSARY TEST!

You have no idea how angry I am. I specifically asked the nurse when she drew my blood what they were going to be testing for, and she listed several STD's, blood type, hormone levels, and immunity to german measles. NOT ONCE did she say CF, or I would have spoken up right then and said I didn't want it!

I AM SO FRUSTRATED! I don't know why on earth they would order such an expensive test knowing that many insurance companies do not cover it! I've already cried many times over this, and I'm so stressed out that I can't eat. I just can't catch a break it seems. We're already paying $308/month just for the doctor to even see us! That's on top of any blood work, pap smear, ultrasounds, or anything else, and that's not even covering my hospital charges for when I have the baby!

I'm so angry and I don't know what to do. Of course, I found all of this out on a Friday afternoon so it was too late to call my doctor, but I will be calling them Monday morning and asking if there's a paper I need to sign to get the CF test, because if there is, I know for a fact I didn't sign it. If they require a signature and did the testing without it, I'll get a lawyer, or at the very least go to the news stations about it. This is so effing rediculous!
