I’m a consumer too. Information regarding insurance reimbursement for things like labs, medications, and doctor visits is notoriously difficult to obtain up-front. To this end I am gathering datapoints from patients and will record them here. Everything below is from 2018-2020. Each line represents a different instance with a different patient. Your results may be wildly different. But it’s a start.
