Quest Diagnostics Quest Did not mention they do not provide services for our health insurance and charged over 10 times the going rate Irvine California

Wlked into Quest Diagnostics, showed our insurance card. They took it and made a copy. Performed a simple blood test. Then after some time, they sent us a bill saying they do not provide testing for out health insurance company (Aetna?), and sent us bill for over $500 for a simple bloot test. 

They would not take any responsability for not letting us know that they do not work with our insurance company. No policies are appreantly accepted from our insurance company. You'd think they would let you know that your insurance is not accepted when they look at your insurance card and make a copy of it. If we had known, we would have gone to a different lab.

To add insult to injury, they send you a bill that is about 20 times the normal insurance cost for the simple blood test. And insist on not adjusting the bill and thereating to ruin your credit if not paid.

These vultures purposely use the confusing insurance rules and coverage and take advantage of the innocent patients who have no control or knowledge of their internal processes and agreements. 

In no other industry, one would buy a service or product without knowing the costs. In healtcare, these vultures abuse the lack of information (which they hide - they could have easily posted on a board which insurance companeis they work with, there aren't that many companies) and rip off patiens, irrespective of their inability to pay. I wish someone would sue them and teach them a lesson.
