Specifically, patients who choose to get their lab work done onsite at the Starbase Medical Clinic will not be charged for their blood draw onsite (i.e., phlebotomy services) but will receive a separate bill for lab processing from the 3rd party lab partner (e.g., LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics) designated by your health plan.

HDHP with HSA: Preventative services, such as an annual physical exam, are free. However, in accordance with IRS rules, you must pay the full cost (or "fair market value") for non-preventative services you receive at the onsite Starbase Medical Clinic, until you satisfy your HDHP deductible.
