Just found this out after a year of having the car, my mirrors don’t fold by themselves, I started folding them with the dedicated button ( top left from windows control ) As I was walking my dog this evening suddenly I saw the pony lit up on the floor to my surprise :)
Hey y’all, I started Accutane 2 months ago and so far I actually feel good and things seem to be improving. For context, I’m on 20 mg and weigh [add your weight here].
What’s stressing me out is the cost. My initial visit ended up being about $320 after insurance, and my first follow-up was about $200 after insurance. On top of that, the prescription itself is around $65, so I’m looking at roughly $265 a month just to stay on treatment, not even counting the higher onboarding visit.
The part that’s hard for me to understand is that the follow-ups are usually only about 5–10 minutes. It’s mostly a quick check-in about progress and side effects, so seeing a $200 bill after insurance for that feels pretty rough as a student.
I’m not asking for medical advice about dosage, purging, or side effects I’m mainly asking whether these kinds of dermatology follow-up costs are normal with insurance, or if this sounds like something worth questioning with billing/insurance. At this point I’m honestly considering postponing treatment just because the cost is getting hard to justify.
Hey ya’ll, I started treatment 2 months ago. I feel good and things are improving for me, but the dermatology costs are stacking up faster than I can handle as a student. Right now I’m paying about $200 per follow-up visit out of pocket, plus about $65 for the 20 mg prescription, so roughly $265 a month just to stay on treatment.
The onboarding was 320$ after insurance, then I had a follow up visit for 200$ after Insurance. follow-ups are usually only 5–10 minute visits where I get asked a few questions about progress and side effects, nothing that feels like it should cost $200 a visit. That’s basically $1,200–$2,400 an hour.
Is this normal for derm follow-ups with insurance, or does this sound worth pushing back on with billing/insurance? At this point I’m seriously considering postponing treatment because the cost is getting hard to justify.
