Is it legal, or ethical for a pain management Dr. to require the patient to pay for?
drug testing which he has just starting randomly giving his patients? Testing is fine. Charging me is not. Also, my insurance co. will not pay for this either.

This is something to take up with your insurance company.
Drug testing for those seeking pain management is important. It helps the doctor know what treatments are safe or not for you.
I fail to see why you'd think it'd be unethical to require you to pay.
In the end, if you don't like the treatment you are receiving, you are welcome to find another doctor.

yes it's legal and ethical, the doctor wants to be sure he's not prescribing pain medication to a drug addict. he's simply covering his as*.
