New Pricing for High Deductible Insurance Plans

Patients with a doctor’s order needing laboratory testing done, but have a high deductible insurance plan or no insurance, can take advantage of discounted prices for self-pay.

Those using the self-pay service (check or credit card payments accepted at the time of service) cannot have these tests also run through their insurance plan for payment.

"McDonough District Hospital's new retail pricing for laboratory work embarks MDH on a transformative era in patient care. By providing an alternative to insurance billing, especially beneficial for those with high deductible health plans, it offers both affordability and accessibility. Now, individuals and families can access competitive pricing for lab testing, effortlessly paying at the time of service,” said Director of Laboratory Services Brittany Doll MS, HTL(ASCP). “This initiative not only simplifies the payment process but underscores the hospital's commitment to putting patient well-being at the forefront."

Patients can take advantage of this new self-pay service at the MDH Laboratory, located on the first floor of the hospital, or at the MDH Drive-Thru (open Monday-Saturday).
