I just got a ridiculous bill in the mail from a Patient First Center. I went there when my back went out on me and they had some X-Rays done of my back, and gave me 800 mg IB Profin, and some Muscle Relaxers. I paid a $35 co pay at the time.
Anyway, they sent me a bill stating Primary Insurance "No Ins Co Resp" Alert. I guess my insurance has decided to reject the bill and put it towards my $5,000 deductible.
The bill is for $362, and it doesn't line item anything as to why the bill is that high. I'm going to call them and get a line item bill to figure this out. I think $362 for a couple quick xrays and a Doctor seeing me for 5 minutes is absurd. Especially since I was not told what the cost would be up front, and I didn't agree to pay this sort of price before having services rendered. I certainly didn't sign any agreement to pay!
As a DJ, could we work and provide services without the customer knowing the costs, then just send them a ridiculous bill 2 months later in the mail expecting them to pay it?
Also, maybe this is the precise reason why the cost of medicare is out of control. $362 to see a Doctor briefly, get looked at, and a couple xrays done? Crazy!
