The Great Plains Laboratory will provide an experienced Pediatric Phlebotomist that will perform all laboratory procedures for blood collection at the Outreach Clinic. The fee for phlebotomy is $30. We encourage ALL patients to increase their fluid intake at least 24 hours prior to appointments. All other specimens, including urine and stool will be collected at home. Any other recommended test kits will be given to parents to take home from the clinic. All kits will have a prepaid FedEx envelope to send back to The Great Plains Laboratory once specimen collection has been completed. Results of testing will be sent to Dr. West’s office and to the patient within 4-6 weeks.
We are offering the following test panel (other tests are available at www.greatplainslaboratory.com):

The fee for Dr. West’s initial 30-minute visit is $225.00 and is due at the time of your appointment in the form of a cash, check, or credit card. Dr. West will develop a treatment plan for each child individually according to the results of their testing and can provide follow-up appointments in her private office or over the phone to review laboratory test results with patients and their families. This is billed separately and is not included in the outreach consultation fee or laboratory testing fee. Dr. West is not an insurance provider. Dr. West’s follow-up fees are billed at $150.00 per half hour. We will provide information regarding the physician’s phone number and office hours at your Outreach Clinic appointment.
**Blue Cross and Blue Shield PPO insurance is the ONLY insurance that Great Plains can bill for laboratory testing and the blood draw at the clinic due to a contract that Great Plains Laboratory has with Blue Cross. This does NOT mean that every BCBS PPO plan will cover any or all of the testing at 100%. We insist that in all situations, you contact your insurance company with the tests and codes, which can be provided to you from The Great Plains Laboratory upon making your appointment. Your insurance company should be able to determine how much coverage you can expect with those test codes.
Please be advised that we are unable to accept Medicare, Medicaid, Champus or Tricare plans for payment of any of the fees and services at the outreach clinic.
It is your responsibility to check with your insurance company to find out how much they will reimburse and what your co-pays and deductibles are.
The special discounted prices do NOT apply for anyone we are filing insurance for. It is meant for those that cannot have their testing covered by insurance. This means that individual insurance prices will apply for each test (as quoted above) for those that want to submit through their insurance. If not, the total amount is due at the time of the appointment and can be paid by check or credit card. Many insurance companies will cover at least a portion of laboratory testing through The Great Plains Laboratory, but HMO’s typically will not provide any coverage.
In the case of a cancellation, please contact Bryan Olson at 913-341-8949 at least 72 hours prior to the appointment. Failure to do so could result in a charge to your credit card.
The Great Plains Laboratory has enacted a policy requiring each outreach clinic to have a minimum of 15 patients signed up, 14 calendar days before the clinic date. Such policies must be enforced in order to prevent last-minute sign-ups and to make the accurate planning of such events possible. This does not mean that we will not take appointments after the 14-day cutoff, but we ask that patients make their appointments as soon as possible in order for us to ensure that the clinic will take place.
