Broke my arm and needed surgery. We know that's pricey.
Before the surgery, I saw an ortho for 5 minutes. In what world are we living in where a 5 minute appointment should cost $475 and that excludes the few hundred billed by the radiologist.
+$475 Office or outpatient visit for a new patient (up to 45 minutes)
- $125.53 Insurance discount
= $349.47 Covered amount
Plan pays: $329.47 FOR A FIVE MINUTE CONSULT
We need 100x more medical schools in this country. Every single state school should be a medical school.
