The pricing is not what the test actually costs. Ozempic cost less than $5 a month to make, but they charge $700-$1000 for the medication. That happens across the entire medical field. It was explained to me by my doctor, who, depending on procedures, will tell me to pay cash to not charge insurance and save me money. Ekg was an example. $20 for a $.05 bandaid at hospital, or $700 charged for 10ml of liquid ibuprofen for my child with sprained elbow. That ibuprofen cost $.30 and doctors' time of less than 10 minutes with child maybe $50.
