How do I correct this medical bill?

I F25 got my blood work done last month in a CLINIC, it was requested from my OBGYN. This is the first time I’ve used my insurance to get blood work done. I found out that I have to pay $164 after my insurance.

I asked my insurance why it was that much, told me it was billed as a blood work at Tacoma (wa) general HOSPITAL, but I had went to a clinic in spanaway, wa city. I explained that it wasn’t the case and that I had went to a clinic upon my doctor’s request. They told me to talk to the clinic, their finance dept told me that a manager will call and explained it to me.

I was at work and the manager left a VM, said that it’s showing the blood was drawn from the General hospital and it was processed there ( this is definitely wrong because even if it’s processed at the hospital, I definitely got my blood drawn from the clinic!), then she continued to explain, that the only time labs are sent to the hospital is if they (the clinic) do not have the appropriate equipment.

So I think it it’s a mistake and I shouldn’t be charged that much for a blood drawn taken in a clinic requested by my obgyn. What do u guys think, what should I do?
