Will my HMO pay for that procedure?

Reminds me of a joke:

This guy carries his dog into the vet's office and says to the vet, "Hey, there's something wrong with my dog. Can you take a look at him?" So the vet checks the dog's pulse and looks into his eyes. "Your dog's dead." "What? That can't be! He was fine this afternoon, running around, begging... He can't be dead. Aren't there some tests you can run to be sure?"

So the vet goes in back and brings out a cat. He puts the cat down, and the cat starts to spit and hiss at the dog. It even takes a few swipes at his nose. No response from the dog. The vet says, "See your dog is dead." The guy still doesn't believe it's true. "Isn't there anything else you can try? There's got to be something better than that."

So the vet goes in the back again and comes out with a big black lab. The lab starts to growl and bark at the guy's dog. He even takes a nip on his ear. There is still no response.

Finally the guy admits that the vet must be right. "Wow! You're right, doc. I just can't believe he's dead. So can you take care of the body for me?" "Yes, we can take care of that," says the vet. "Great, what do I owe you, doc?" "That'll be $600," says the vet. "What! Just to take care of the body?!?!" "No, that's only $50, but then you also had the CATSCAN and the LAB TESTS!!"
