I get the whole not wanting to go through the hassle. But as jurroppi1 said, it probably got coded wrong. It might be worth a phone call to the doctor’s office. If they made a mistake in coding when they billed the insurance company or the insurance company made the error, it can be corrected any you would be due a refund for the $114 you paid and is at least worth noting for the future when you schedule you next annual exam.
I agree, for 114 bucks it is worth it.
I’ve gone through some weird stuff with coordination of benefits, but last year took the cake with Health partners. Now I have a “coordination of benefits account” that gets credited monies whenever my primary pays for something thus saving the secondary (health partners) money. So I now have to incur out of pocket expenses first where I didn’t have to before, or have the care facility bill correctly (not sure why it matters from one to the other, but I can only assume they write stuff off and others don’t), but I digress.
Obamacare and the employer mandates have made a royal mess of everything. They cost me in premiums and at tax time because I have a “Cadillac” health plan. I am double covered because of all the surgeries I have had and new were coming (2 neck, 2 hip, hernia repair and Cholecystectomy) and potential surgeries I might have in the future (low back / SI).
At this point I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it anymore.
