The problem is BOTH!

I had bloodwork done. The list of tests was rather long, and I asked the doc about it.

They are required to run tests for things they don't think are problems, because the group and the insurance company has given them basically a list of "if you test for this you have to test for this too" as a CYA.

What the doc wanted to test me for pinpointed the issue rather quickly. The rest were just additional cost for all.
