I had to pay $400 after waiting 4-5 months in serious pain (uncommon injury) for an appointment with a specialist and when I got there I was with him for maybe 3 minutes as he explained I was sent to the wrong place and gave me the number for the place I was supposed to go.
I never actually paid. I refused. I’m actually not sure if they ended up sending it to collections. I was in too much pain to give a shit about any of that. I just knew I wasn’t going to willingly pay them.
Oh yeah, WITH insurance.
Our system isn’t just a joke. It’s a predatory scheme.
I once had to pay $250 for just a 15-minute conversation with a doctor. With insurance.
