Not shot. Dog bite! ‘Woof! Woof!’. Not ‘Bang! Bang!’.
There are 24 hour clinics popping up all over our suburban area. The newer ones do not accept any insurance, all their docs are D.O.’s, not M.D.’s. Anyone seeking treatment pays $250 at the time the paperwork is completed and only credit cards are accepted. That pays for a doc to see you - if you need anything else, like lab work or x-ray, the charges can mount pretty fast.
One of the most interesting additions to our area is a free standing lab. Anyone can go there and request any kind of lab work without having a doctor involved. Tests run while you wait and report given to patient. Charges are very, very reasonable - about a third of what clinics charge or less and they do accept cash, check and credit card - but they are incredibly busy.
Last ER visit I had was $1500, not including the doctor fees, lab fees and ambulance ride (total was well over $2800)

Exactly! My 17 year old daughter had an E.R. visit about a month ago and it was over $1600. Fortunately my insurance paid all but my $50 co pay.
The 400 bucks is for t&e the deductible, assuing you have insurance.
I am on a retiree plan.
One visit to emergency last January cost me $4500 out of pocket for a CT scan and stitching up.
Tragic what obama has allowed to do to healthcare.
