So, I need a type of medication that is abused by some. My doctor makes everyone take a drug test for certain medications. knowing that I don't have good insurance through work I asked him how much does this cost? he said he doesn't have the cost since he submits them to a lab but told me it won't be that expensive.

I got the bill from this lab he submitted it to $931. they break it down to where it's like $200 for this drug $100 for that drug etc etc. I feel scammed. any non medical company would be under harsh investigation for these types of practices. why are doctors getting away with it?

I attempted to settling it but they aren't budging much at all they want to break it into payments. i can't afford or justify $931 for a urine drug test!! I'm an hourly employee do you know how many hours I have to work to pay this off?! what should I do about this? is this something like this unheard of?
