We love hearing stories from our members who have saved money and received better health care thanks to their Health Access Benefit! Here is one story of a family who saved hundreds of dollars on lab work via our partnership with Ulta Lab Tests, and then saved even more money by utilizing their direct primary care provider instead of a pediatrician:
My teenage son was experiencing ongoing gastrointestinal issues. We were regularly visiting his pediatrician, which costs hundreds of dollars out of pocket. After multiple appointments plus various tests and scans, we still couldn’t pinpoint the reason for his GI discomfort.
At this point, I was concerned for my son. His health is my priority. However, the accruing medical costs were depleting my funds. In hopes to improve his health, his pediatrician ordered additional lab work. When I asked for a price, they quoted me $877.12. As a new HAS member, I knew there had to be a better solution.
I contacted our direct primary care provider through my Health Access Benefit (for free!) and asked them to evaluate all of my son’s medical information. They agreed with his pediatrician’s recommendation and told me that he needed that lab work. However, they recommended that I use Ulta Lab Tests, a discount lab program. They even helped me set up an account, order his lab work, and pay online!
By using Ulta Lab Tests, the final cost for my son’s lab work was only $281.60. That’s almost $600 in savings, which blew my mind!
It was easy to find a Lab Testing Center nearby and have my son’s blood drawn. We received the results a few days later and shared them with the same primary care provider. They were able to create a treatment plan, prescribe medications, and conduct all follow-up visits at no extra cost, saving me hundreds more.
