I have no major complaints about the quality of care I received - this rating is due to how the services were billed. I had two visits: the first was to an ENT, with whom I had 10-15 minutes of face time. He did a nasal endoscopy and couldn't identify any issues, then ordered a CT and referred me to an allergist. The total cost of this visit was $1693.
The second visit was with the allergist, who asked me a long series of questions, then ordered a skin scratch allergy panel. The total cost of this visit was $3130, the allergy test alone cost $2720. Sources online said these types of allergy tests can cost from $60-$300.
I checked the CPT codes for every procedure listed on my bill and they all seemed to be accurate. I called the billing office and explained everything mentioned above, and asked why the procedures, especially the allergy test, were so expensive, but they just told me it was fair price and that they couldn't do anything more.
