Should have planted that bean. Maybe it would have grown an entire stalk of $2,000 beans.

In all seriousness, that they are able to charge that much with no upfront warning is pretty insulting. But then again they know they have you hostage, its not like you are going to change your mind and tell the doctor to just leave it in there.

I hear people make this argument about patients who are bleeding out, and that's one thing. You're not going to suffer any extra harm from leaving a bean in your nose for a week. The nose just dumps out into the back of your throat. Why wouldn't you shop around in that case?

How would you shop around?

Is that what you had to pay out of pocket? With or without insurance?

Unfortunately we thought that urgent care clinic was in-network, but it wasn't. Insurance covered a little bit, but we were left with the majority of the bill. We complained about the high cost and asked for a discount to no avail.
