A friend shared his bill for blood tests at the local hospital. Wow, what crazy prices!

He could have come to my office, Pine Creek Family Medicine, near Jersey Shore, PA. We offer low-cost blood tests to the public at transparent prices. No more guessing games of what you will have to pay.

Some people say it must be too good to be true. Nope. They are real blood tests processed by a national lab (LabCorp).

Four years ago I left my job of 21 years. I wasn’t sure what I would be doing, but I trusted that God and my family would be with me on my next journey.

Fast forward 4 years, and I am SO grateful for the change. I discovered the world of DPC (Direct Primary Care) where patients pay a monthly fee in exchange for unlimited office visits. My patients and I are FREE from the middle-man of insurance. I can spend TIME with my patients. I can learn new things and share them with others.

In the past I wondered how long I could survive on the treadmill of being a traditional doctor. These days I’m very content. Aah, life is good!

How much will your blood tests cost? That's hard to say.

Even with insurance, your costs could be astronomical.

One patient had the same blood tests last year and this year, using the same insurance. The hospital billed her insurance over $5000 each year. Last time her after-insurance cost was $240. This year she has to pay $2400 !!

We could have saved her 80% at Pine Creek Family Medicine in Jersey Shore, PA area. Those same labs would have cost her only $465 self-pay, without using her insurance..

Have you noticed strange symptoms over the last 5 years? Brain fog, muscle aches, fatigue, gut issues, tremors, or unexplained issues?

Many people may have spike protein from Long Covid or the shots. I’ve been checking Spike Protein Antibodies, as recommended by Dr. Peter McCullough. It’s interesting the symptoms and results I’ve seen. With the Ultimate Spike Detox (nattokinase, bromelain and curcumin) as well as other detox regimens, we are already seeing some improvements.

So how do you have your Spike Protein Antibody checked? If your doctor will order it, we can draw it at Pine Creek Family Medicine for $80 plus $10 drawing fee. If you are my patient already, it is less expensive. (The Labcorp test code is 164090.)

If your doctor will not order it, you can order your own Spike Protein Antibody through Labcorp OnDemand for $69. You will have to travel to Harrisburg or other sites to have it drawn.

Then if your level is high, you can investigate detox options. See the screenshots for a couple of recommended videos as well as a chart of my patient results so far.

I love helping my patients improve their health! This is just another set of tools I can use.

How much will your blood tests cost? Sometimes it’s hard to say.

It took a lot of effort, but a colleague recently was given estimates of self-pay prices for bloodwork at a local hospital. I was shocked!

At Pine Creek Family Medicine near Jersey Shore, PA, we love offering low-cost blood tests to the public at transparent prices. No more guessing games of what you will pay.

One woman recently was amazed at our prices. She said 6 months ago her discounted self-pay labs for the same blood tests cost her $2700 at the local hospital. Through our office, it cost her only $260.

“How can you charge so little?” she asked Tina at my office.

Tina responded, “How can the hospital charge you so much?”

Some people say it must be too good to be true. Nope. They are real blood tests processed by a national lab (LabCorp).

How much will your blood test cost at the hospital? That’s hard to answer.

But at Pine Creek Family Medicine, we offer blood tests to the public at low-cost transparent prices.

We have heard several examples recently:
1) Hemoglobin A1C (diabetes lab) -- $352 at the hospital. $20 at our office.
2) TSH and Free T4 (thyroid labs) -- $700 at the hospital. $50 at our office.
3) Endocrinology ordered special tests on one patient. One was $1000 at the hospital, but we did it for only $90 for her. Her other test was $800 at the hospital. Our price… $80.

We love saving people money on blood tests!

Here are some real-world examples:

One patient paid $2000 last time at the hospital. Our price for the same tests: $120.

Endocrinology ordered special tests on one patient. One was $1000 at the hospital, but we did it for only $90 for her. Her other test was $800 at the hospital. Our price… $80.

One man has used us several times. He says his co-pay for labs is $500 every time. We did several tests for him today for $125.

“I never see the same provider at my doctor’s office,” Mandy complained to her friend. “I feel like I have to tell my whole medical history every time. No one seems to know me.”

“You could check out my doctor,” Jenn said. “I see Dr. Herrington every single time.”

Mandy was intrigued. “How does that work?” she asked.

“Well, Dr. Herrington has a different kind of practice, called Direct Primary Care. I pay a monthly membership fee, and I get unlimited office visits and access. Yesterday I had a sore throat, and I was seen within a few hours of contacting the office. I was in and out quickly. It’s great!”

Mandy grinned. “That sounds great. But will my insurance cover office visits?”

“That’s the cool thing,” Jenn said. “Dr. H doesn’t bill insurance. So she doesn’t get stuck with all kinds of paperwork or requirements. Instead she can take care of her patients. My membership fee includes any time I go to the office. No co-pays. ”

“Does anything cost extra?” Mandy asked.

“I had blood tests done. They weren’t included in the membership fee, but I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. Last year I had labs done at the hospital, and I’m still paying on that bill!”

“That office sounds great!” Mandy said. “I think I’ll check into it.”

In what other industry do you basically sign a blank check?

You go to the hospital, expecting that your insurance will pay a decent amount for the tests. But then you are floored by the bill when it comes. And there is nothing you can do. The price depends on what the hospital charges, and what the insurance will pay. You are often left with a daunting bill, having to figure out how to pay it. You find yourself questioning whether you dare have tests done in the future.

I often say that it is safer to get labs done at my medical office near Jersey Shore, PA. At least I can give people a price.

For my own patients, the prices are amazingly low.

If you are not one of my patients, we can still draw your blood tests. Simply get an order from your provider and give us a call. You can go to www.PineCreekFamMed.com/services and click on the first link for sample prices.

Kelly couldn't believe the bill for her blood tests at the local hospital!!

"They charged me $2600 for the labs you ordered," she wrote to me. “I should have gotten them at your office.”

I often say that it is safer to get labs done at my medical office near Jersey Shore, PA. At least I can give people a price.

In what other industry do you basically sign a blank check? You go to the hospital, expecting that your insurance will pay a decent amount for the tests. But then you are floored by the bill when it comes. And there is nothing you can do. The price depends on what the hospital charges, and what the insurance will pay. You are often left with a daunting bill, having to figure out how to pay it. You find yourself questioning whether you dare have tests done in the future.

For Kelly, I had ordered a basic set of labs. When I added them up, I almost hated to let her know what the price would have been through my office, self-pay.

She had been charged $2600 (has to pay well over $1000 after her insurance paid). What would it have cost at my office as one of my patients? $67.22. Yes, that’s all!

And Kelly knows that we draw labs for people who are not our patients. If someone had come with the same lab order, it would have cost them $270 at my office.

Spread the word! We can save people from the jaw-dropping experience of opening a hospital lab bill.
