This happens to me all the time. I got sick of paying for it so i started throwing a huge fit every time they start in on that pregnancy test bullshit. If i say "ive had a total hysterectomy" and they still insist that "maybe you just dont quite understand, we HAVE to make sure youre not pregnant" i just start saying "HYSTERECTOMY. HYSTERECTOMY. HYSTERECTOMY." over and over until they give up. I used to be super super nice to medical professionals, but after 10 straight years of them fucking up my meds and insurance both on purpose and on accident, wasting my fucking grocery money, denying me treatment, and (on one occasion) using a medical exam as an in to sexually assault me, i give them exactly ONE chance. Past that, they deal with the mean bitch version of me
Edit: oh my god the well actuallys are so annoying. Yeah, you can have a pregnancy without a uterus. Would it surprise you to learn that ive actually had a total hysto and bilateral salpingooophorectomy and i say that every time and i have proof and they still dont care? It's not about the technicalities, its about valuing liability above human dignity and above the fact that people need money to eat and cant be wasting it on hospital liability that has no bearing on reality
I let them know ONCE and then let them do it anyway and then report them for insurance fraud :)
I havent had to pay for a single one of those tests. I also do not communicate to the medical facility that I am reporting them for insurance fraud. I let my insurance company know that they have done a test they knew they shouldn't do and I also report them to the proper local authority.
How much do they usually charge for a pregnancy test? I seem to remember hearing that most care facilities will use the same pregnancy tests sold in dollar stores, so I doubt it's really costing them anything to not get reimbursed.
