Swimmod_Luna Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 For a neurological condition I have that I haven't followed up with any doctor about since like 2004 so I figured I probably should just get checked out. Got a letter from the doctor's office with an estimate of how much I'll have to pay. $2433 with my insurance. God bless America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do no interest financing and that bill would qualify me for a 24 month payment plan which is awesome because by the time I get this bill I'll finally be done paying off a payment plan from a surgery I had last year.

Routine stuff like physicals and annual OBGYN appointments are covered (but I think that was an Obamacare thing that said stuff like that has to be covered) but anything more complex and my insurance basically pays nothing until I hit my deductible which I think is like $5000? I looked at the statement I was sent with the MRI estimate and it looks like my insurance "negotiated" a discount of like, $100. Yippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could fly here and still come away cheaper. You could drive, get a hotel, get the MRI and it still wouldn't cost that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
