We went to the outpatient dermatology clinic with a referral from our pediatrician for eczema. I am so unbelievably disappointed in the absolutely outrageous charges I received. Very simple visit, no biopsies, procedures, etc. Charges for the physician were $300, charges from Children s hospital was $400. That s $700 for one single outpatient dermatology visit!!!!! I am in total disbelief!! If you are a family that has copays and is responsible for any significant percentage of your medical care BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!! I called and asked about any financial assistance. We will miss the cut off for this and they do not take into account in any way our student loan payments, our own medical expenses and all the other financial obligations we have. Never in my wildest dreams did I image we would be charged so much. Billing kept telling me their charges are in line with other level 1 trauma centers in the nation . We didn t go to a level 1 trauma center we went to an outpatient dermatology clinic in Wheat Ridge!!! We will never ever ever again seek care here unless it is a true emergency and we have absolutely no other option. I'm so disgusted.
