Harmony test cost

shlynner

After the billing department at my doctor's office looked over my insurance and told me the Harmony test would be $120, I decided to do it. Then I received a statement from my insurance saying the claim was denied and I owe over $19,000! This cannot be correct. Has anyone else received any outrageous bill like this for any of these genetic tests?

My Dr told me it would cost me out of pocket under $100.00 so I went ahead and did it. My bill is almost $1700. They said they would be happy to set up a payment plan. Insurance did cover a big part but still...

Did you guys call Ariosa, the company that offers the Harmony test?  They have a financial assistance program and if you make less than 72,000 or something as a household of 3 (that includes unborn baby) then it should be under $195.  Call them!    

Edited to add:  here is a link to their financial info page:  https://www.ariosadx.com/access-programs/.  Their financial assistance stands regardless of your insurance status, as far as I can tell!

Also, don't freak out until you get a bill from Ariosa!  It may seem like a lot now but the bill may be less after they work with your insurance!

I had the panorama and was mortified when I saw the insurance claim for $9,000! After what they paid I still owed them over $4000! Wtf? So i called the billing dept at the company that administers the test and they said if I paid $200 they would write off the rest. Omg I almost had a heart attack.
