How much does it cost for newborns to have a pku test done without insurance? I’m asking cause a hospital bill was mailed in and it was over $1,000. I paid $99 the day of the test not knowing they were going to send me a bill. Only reason why I paid was because baby was suppose to have Medicaid but there was a misunderstanding and she didn’t have it yet. If I call tomorrow and say she has Medicaid now should they cover the bill?
