I brought my boys for a endocrinologist doctors visit. The doctor did not listen to our concerns or take into consideration that we have already been through this with our older boy and knew what worked for him. Instead she insisted my youngest see a nutritionist (of which I let them know he had seen one on several occassions in the past), they both had a simple hand xray that was read by the doctor not a radiologist and seen the doctor. No further treatment was offered other than to come back in 6 months. After I had paid the co-pay insurance was billed and our bill was still almost $800 and the billing for the doctor will come separately. No my deductible was not met BUT this was a regular doctor visit that typically would have cost us ONLY our $40 co-pay even without the deductible being met. Hell, we have had urgent care visits with xrays and casts and only had a $120 bill. The nutritionist alone was $265 for not even 30 minutes AND I had told them we didn't think it was necessary but it was insisted upon. I contacted the billing office and was given a 15% discount. Also spoke with patient relations rep. She "researched" the visit and we were pretty much told the 15% off was good enough to take care of our concerns. I further voiced concerns that were answered with "uh huh" and "I understand" again did not feel as if I was being listened to. We won't be back! The outpatient billing procedures that are taking place for a Dr. Appointment is asinine! Especially when the office is part of a hospital that is NON-PROFIT! Someone is getting a huge bonus at the end of the year!!
