Myriad Labs, Myriad Genetics These people use deceptive practices to fleece you of your money Salt Lake City Utah

Hi, my name is Aaron and I'm the patient accounts billing manager at Myriad Genetic Laboratories.  I want to clarify our billing policy to prevent any further miscommunication about what we do here at Myriad.  At Myriad, patients are our top priority. We are dedicated to improving patients quality of life by offering tests that provide important clinical information to assist patients and their healthcare providers in making treatment decisions. We are continuously innovating to improve patient care through the development of new products across multiple medical specialties. Every day, Myriad is working to empower patients and their healthcare providers with the knowledge to own their healthcare.

When one of our tests is ordered for you, we will work with your insurance provider to help you get the appropriate coverage allowed by your plan. If your out of pocket expense will exceed $375, we will call you before processing your test to discuss payment plan options that are available to you. We wont call if your bill will be less than $375, but if you have concerns about your bill, you can contact us directly and we guarantee that we will work with you to come up with an option thats right for you.

We are committed to make sure that test results are accurate, timely, and financially accessible to everyone.  What does this mean for you? When your doctor feels you should have genetic testing to help you get the best possible care, you can proceed right away, feeling confident that the costs will be manageable. No surprises. If your bill will be more than $375, well call. You can work with us to come up with a payment plan that meets your needs.

Q. How do I know if my health insurance will cover hereditary cancer testing? I dont even know where to start.

A. Most insurance carriers cover genetic testing services for hereditary cancer. In fact, although each situation is unique, the average patient pays coinsurance of less than 10% of the test price. We work directly with your insurance provider to get reimbursement for the genetic tests we offer. We have significant experience navigating the reimbursement issues that may be important to you.

Q. What kinds of payment plans do you offer?

A. If you happen to receive a bill from Myriad, we are extremely flexible. We routinely offer an interest-free 25 month payment plan when your co-insurance, deductible, or non-covered services will cost $375 or more. (Thats roughly $15 per month, with zero interest.) Our friendly staff will happily find a way to make the payments work for you.

Q. What if I dont have any health insurance at all?

A. You can pay for the testing service yourself. If needed, we can set you up on an installment payment plan that is practical for you.

We can even offer testing at no charge to uninsured patients who meet specific financial and medical criteria. (Due to regulatory limitations, patients who are recipients of government-funded programs like Medicaid and Medicare, or those that have any third party insurance are not eligible to apply.)

I read a report of myriad labs titled Myriad Labs, Myriad Genetics These people use deceptive practices to fleece you of your money Salt Lake City Utah



This exact thing happened to me as well almost verbatim.  I complained about the extreme cost deception to my gynecologist as well as to myriad labs.

Very deceptive practice

Consumers are not clearly informed of the extreme costs of this elective genetic testing and borders on fraud

I'll never recommend myriad labs...........ever!
