This is widespread in my area.Testing patients to genetically determine how they metabolize one to five drug types for $2,000-$5,000.Testing companies run patients through hospitals since they have the insurance contracts and split the proceeds.Also many are now charging individually for testing of multiple organisms using a single urine,G.I. or respiratory panel causing a culture to cost several hundred dollars.This is done by the same types that brought us "liquid gold" or $1,600-$2,400 urine drug tests.Our hospital administration has ordered our laboratory to participate.
