Went for a mammogram and needed an ultrasound, I get charged $257 by Hartford Hospital for the use of the machine and $161 from Midstate for the Dr to read the ultrasound. They are charging me the discounted price of what they would charge the insurance. AS AN OUTPATIENT! Of course its outpatient it was a mammogram. apparently Insurance doesnt pay for Dr.s to read your ultrasound. I also had to go in to get my results for a BRCA test, I did not have to get undressed, have my temp taken or any other procedure. I went in was informed the results sitting across a desk from a woman charged $120.00 for an outpatient care!!!! This was less intrusive than any Dr appt I have ever had. I can understand getting a Dr. appt copay but for a person to take 5 minutes to look at an ultrasound and you never even see them and the insurance pays nothing and your out of pocket is $160 plus it is ridiculous!
