Speaking of health insurance (someone was, somewhere..)

Cousin Wheels just called. He needs blood and urine samples (fasting tests). I'm driving him next week in the morning because he can only get a ride other ways in the afternooon. But anyway, the point is that I have to drive him to the HOSPITAL to have the tests done, not at any of the regional test centers.

Why? Because he says that his insurance coverage won't pay for it anywhere but at the hospital because the other places charge more for the test.

If correct, this is why HC is screwed up. At minimum, they should give him the OPTION of paying the up-charge out of pocket so he could use the nearby facilities. Now, maybe they do and he's not telling me. That would make more sense.

Anyway, Grrrrrr. So now I have to drive him 1/2 across town so he can pee in a cup. Grrrrrrrr. Not that big a deal compared to the usual 4 hour run-around while he waits for his Dr. and the Pharmacy and stuff, but still... There's a test center not too far from him.
