The Irony
Upon receiving an EOB from my insurance company for a percentage of the cost of the three-hour glucose test, I called for an explanation of the charges since all maternity care is covered under my insurance plan with no co-pays. My one-hour glucose screening was covered so I was confused as to why this one wasn't. It turns out that because I failed the test and tested positive for GD, it is no longer a "routine" OB cost, so I have to pay the co-insurance. If I had passed the test, however, it would have been covered completely.

NICE!!!
That is terribly ridiculous. How very strange. I at least hope that it wasn't very expensive. Oh, and I've heard that you can quite often negotiate with the doctor to only pay as much as the insurance would have paid if they covered it.
I echo Jen... ridiculous
Oh for crying out loud.
