Will those doctors give me a good rate for burned soles?
This is great news. But I’m sure the government will soon step in to stop it.
I wish there were a national registry of some sort for these guys so we could find them more easily.
Optometrists and dentists, too.
The benevolent dictators in Washington will put a stop to this.
My niece got a back MRI - after hours - for $350 in cash
The doctors need to start advertising so we know where to go to stay away from zerocare nuts.
Can anyone say why that is, and/or how the lab got away with it, and/or why the insurance companies don't do a better job of trying to keep prices down?
If you take your car to a body shop to repair damage, the first thing asked is if it is insurance or self paid. Same reasoning.
Isn’t this how it used to be many years ago?
I had a doctor tell me he couldn’t take cash patients. Apparently someone sued him on the grounds cash patients received better care.
The Brown Clown and his lackeys ( Pelosie, Reid, and all the other A$$hole self serving Socialists) won’t like that one bit.
I worked in a physician’s office right out of college. Nobody had insurance, everybody paid in cash or were billed. I worked in a two person office. . . the doctor and me. It was a very busy practice. We saw patients every 10 minutes and it cost $4.00 a visit.
Insurance was for catastrophic illness, hospital coverage, or emergency care.
My husband and I do not have dental or optical coverage. We knew when we retired that those were part of our personal yearly expenses.
Relax there my friend, cause and effect, cause and effect. This will be the norm in the not to distant future. Home grown, the way it’s always been.
Fed’s stop it? yeah, just like they’ll take all our guns.
Its about time.
I just paid $46,000, as my portion of the bill including hospital for a hernia operation... This is about double what I paid two years ago... sheeesh
My doctor is concierge. She has annual yearly membership fees, for single, couple and family. I love it. I can get an appt with ease, if I have a question or problem I can call and she returns the call. I get a superbill and send it into my secondary since medicare will not honor it. My doctor does not take any ins. And she carries a patient load of 200. I will keep this physician as long as I can afford it. She will bill her membership fee monthly if that is what works for you.
We need to have street corner doctors and dentists like they have in India and other places.
Doesn’t Obama-care outlaw high deductible insurance next year?
Or does it trigger the fines?
How ironic! Obamacare was touted as the solution to lower costs and get everyone insured; now it’s back to fee for service just like in the 50’s before anyone got insurance at work.
Doc in the Box (Urgent Care) is the way to go.
My doctor told me that he treats his long-time Medicaid patients for free in his office because it costs his practice less to provide care for free than deal with the bureaucratic requirements. He is no longer taking new Medicaid patients.
