yea Paul it's not all their fault... My kid broke his leg this summer 2 days out of school. Cost me $3500 in co-insurance and copays.
Ortho guy takes an xray and says "it's healed so well he has a hard time seeing the break now". Then says after he wants a followup appt "to make sure it's fully healed" with another xray. YA RIIIIIIIIGHT that was cancelled...Especially since the kid was walking normally on it for 2 weeks
Last summer I got something in my eye. I call my pcp and the receptionist says I got to go in to see the doc- I was calling to find out if this was something that he could address in the office or did I need to go see the eye doc. Says we don't know until you come in...I said no way I'm paying for a $150 doc visit for him to tell me to go see the eye doc...ask the doctor if he has the ability to take out a foreign object....comes back and says no you would have to go see the eye doc.
3 rusty steel slivers yikes.
The problem is everyone got their hand out... As I said in the other thread the system is broke. Nebe I won't hijack your thread anymore
