depends how close you are to canada. you'd spend money going there and back and maybe have to spend the night. That all adds up. My blood work is about $220 (total) when I have it done, but it might be different for gastric. Explain to your doctor that you don't have insurance and they might be able to send you somewhere.

I don't live in the area, but your phone book should be a start if you have nothing else to go on.  It is better to have references, though.  You may want to contact your local hospital to direct you.  Good luck and God bless.

I would go to a Emergency Clinic not the ER, too expensive and they will do the same thing.  Good Luck!

Try the phone book. Look under "doctors".

There are private companies that can perform the test, but any medical facility with a lab can as well. Try your local hospital.

Canada's health care system is run by the government, therefore less money.  You're better off staying in the States where it is privatized.

Usually the blood banks pay the best for a good phlebotomist. Especially if they have a blood-mobile and you're willing to travel. Also check the local hospitals.

I think you have an incorrect abbreviation of the medical term that you are looking for. I've looked everywhere.\nIn all my University books, on the Internet and nothing with B.B.C. appears. I'm sorry.

You can use a place like WebMD, and you can use here, but even though the previous poster said that medical professionals answer it, they rarely do. I've asked questions before and I'm still waiting for answers. On here, you might get someone who has some pretty good medical knowledge, but very rare again. Just suck it up, and go to your doctor and ask him. That is one of the reasons you pay for medical insurance, and the copay, so you can get medical advice and answers to your questions.

You need to call around to different facilities in your area, if you have no insurance.  If you have insurance, you need to contact your insurance company to see which facilities are contracted with your insurance.\n\nIf you have no insurance, look up "physicans - radiology" or "x-ray" in your yellow pages.  Make sure you have a doctor's order in hand, and call around for prices.  If you have the order, you can tell the facility why they are doing the scan.  For example, doing a scan for blood in the urine or kidney stones will be a different procedure than a scan for abdominal pain.  Then the facility can accurately quote a price to you.  \n\nPrices will vary greatly, from state to state, and even from facility to facility  Our facility charges around $1350 for a CT abdomen with oral and IV contrast.  (California, outpatient facility)  The hospital in our town charges almost double that.\n\nA hospital facility will charge you for a technical fee and a professional fee.  The tech fee is for the service, and the prof fee is for the radiologist reading.  Most outpatient imaging facilities only have one charge.  So make sure you are clear about that when you get quotes.  Also, most outpatient facilities will give you a larger discount at time of service if the patient does not have insurance.  We offer a 20% discount if the procedure is paid in full at time of exam.

I have BCBS in Texas.  Its been a constant struggle to obtain referrals,  I have to contact them at least once a quarter regarding non-payment of a bill or portion of a bill issued for regular care through my PCP, and God forbit I should get sick while travelling  outside my service area.\n\nIf you have another option available to you, think really hard before selecting BCBS.

Go to the Doctor immediately! Blood from any area that is not expected is not a good thing to not get checked out.

A lot of cities have clinics that provide free or sliding scale services.  One in our area is Visiting Nurse Assoc.  Call hospitals to see if they have any places they could refer you to.

No, as a matter of fact you can't even purchase more than 50 T1's a month, in Saskatchewan. That is a tylenol with 8 mg of codiene and caffeine. They ask you for your health insurance card in Saskatchewan. It is tracked on their data base. And NO, you cannot get T3's without a scrip, I live here!! Hillary is right and the other ones are 222's. They are an ASA with codeine.
