Check your LabCorp bills folk. I had them try to bill me for 4 strep tests once. I called them and told them "If you can't get it right the first time, I shouldn't have to pay for your incompetence!" They removed 3 of the charges.

See what happens when they let other people have some skin in the game.

As part of the settlement, the Ms. Hecker-Gross will receive $357,000.
