I have labs I have to get done by Friday. I’m on Medicaid in Florida, and (the preferred lab) labcorp said I’d need to go to a hospital lab, advice please?

Labcorp I’ve gone to 4 times, had to fast every time, sometimes wait hours-

and they’re not able to find a vein.

They said I’d need someone with a vein light or ultrasound in order to have a better chance at getting these done. They recommended I go to the hospital lab.

The (in) hospital lab I’m not sure if they take my insurance or not, does the hospital offer you to be billed for what insurance doesn’t cover?

There’s also outpatient hospital labs, which don’t show they accept Medicaid. 😔

I’m at a total loss here because it’s not MY fault I have terrible veins, and my prescribing doctor is withholding important acne medication until my lab comes in, which needs to be Friday. I feel like I can’t win here.
