Was this a modern machine-based test where testing for one disease is just as easy as testing for 20 at a time? There's been a lot of false information and insurance screwups in the news about such tests. A single lab test that the machine vendor charges $200 for, and thus costs the hospital probably $50 or less if they own the machine, gets coded by insurance as 20 separate tests.
We 100% should be using these kinds of tests way more often. If this was such a rapid multi-test, the villain here is the billing department and insurance.
