Recently went to urgent care and had to put $300 on credit card for current new visit INCASE my insurance not pays it 100%. The urgent care is part of their network. I did it but my copayment was $25. Also I went to see a new doctor and saw him for 15 minute my bill was over $3000. Office visit was $560 bucks and all rest was just blood work. Apparently insurance covered it all except my $500 deductible;. I had 2 payers also. I am basically healthy but need to lose weight. I was also told try on your own to lose weight, then come back in 90 days. No diet program no diet pan ..NOTHING. I never went back...been told that by 2 family doctors over past 2 years!! Just to get extra money for the patient and HC medical center. I did check total on lab work 3 bottle of blood and per law they can charge 90% more on each of these tests per HCFA& CMS.
