So my doctor left in November and I was assigned a new doctor. I was not aware at the time I would have to have a “meet” appointment with the doctor before I can have a physical or get any medical appointments. I didn’t find out until after my insurance was switched on Jan 1st to really bad policy that my work offers. It doesn’t not cover anything except one physical a year and the rest I have to pay for up to like $5,600 and then my insurance will cover half. I don’t make much money ($19 an hour) and so after being told I have to have the meeting appointment with my assigned doctor in order to get a physical I went and now being charged $260 dollars for it. The literal appointment was just the doctor spent 4mins reading my medical chart and confirming what was on there. The one thing I asked about the doctor never helped me with so the appointment was a waste of time and was for the doctor’s sake not mine. Should I call the billing office and demand they wave the bill since it’s their bullshit policy that forced me to go to said appointment because my doctor quit? Anyone else deal with this before?
