One problem you will run into is co-pays and deductibles. Sometimes the copay is more than you will charge for the service. TB usually gets paid but it’s considered preventative. I think we have been able to get a one to two-dollar payment for venipuncture if the deductible is already met. We have not tried billing insurance for std counseling and since std testing is sent to the state we don’t bill for it.
