Hydration Assistance Fees?

I'm being charged for what?

Having just reviewed the last, and final, bill for a series of recent medical issues (I'm a-okay. Routine stuff, blah, blah, blah) I am ticked off. On my last bill, which is a summation of what I owe after Aetna "Was removing that hachet from your brain a pre-existing condition? No. We won't cover that", very nicely itemized my bill. One line item is "lab transportation fee--$38.45". What?! I was charged a fee to send the samples to the lab. Are you kidding me? Isn't the lab IN THE SAME AREA as the doctor's office in Swedish Hospital?!? Isn't First Hill infested with medical facilities, and one would assume, several labs that are in WALKING distance, if not the SAME BUILDING as the office/hospital?

Had I known I was going to be dinged for walking a sample down the street I would have done it myself. Ferchristssake!

I'm surprised they didn't charge me a "hydration and urine swabbing fee" for the water I drank prior to and TP I used when I peed in the stupid sample cup.
