Empathetic offices and doctors don't do that. I don't know where you live, but most insurance companies only pay about 105-120% of Medicare, sometimes it goes as high as 150%. If a doctor gives a 50% discount off their fee ticket prices for cash, they still make more than they do seeing a BCBS insured patient. <BR/><BR/>My suggestion is that you call before you go back in and ask for either a self-pay discount, or offer to pay 175% of the RBRVS for the visit. If they say no, they probably have an office policy to bill out the ass for self-pay in order to not have to deal with the problems of having a patient who becomes very ill and they are obligated to treat beyond the ability to pay -- but you don't often see that in peds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-18895840073793734992008-06-18T09:47:00.000-04:002008-06-18T09:47:00.000-04:00is catfish giving you a Kindle?when *is* your birt...is catfish giving you a Kindle?<BR/><BR/>when *is* your birthday anyway?Maddness of Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593468374316318014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-89583882619152519072008-06-18T09:28:00.000-04:002008-06-18T09:28:00.000-04:00Ah yes, the Kindle.

And while some of them are a bargain (I'm reading Anna Karenina for $2.63), most of the new/good ones are $9.99. Those add up FAST! I have been known the skim the Closet at a Little League game, though, which is definitely a bargain.sjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904316170238912506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-8600228835509911422008-06-17T22:32:00.000-04:002008-06-17T22:32:00.000-04:00Oh Mom come on...Gotta help a girl out.She really ...Oh Mom come on...Gotta help a girl out.<BR/><BR/>She really has been a good girl- she has cleaned poop too many times to mention, made all us ladies (I think I saw a new man though) laugh many many times, she didn't kick lk out when he broke her Ticker Bell (even though this was my suggestion), and I am sure she is a wonderful daughter that any momma would love to have:)Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392706956841158519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-62758476404829244022008-06-17T21:54:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:54:00.000-04:00you had better start hoping there really is a Sant...you had better start hoping there really is a Santa Claus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148811199743801438.post-5363242881178311272008-06-17T18:55:00.000-04:002008-06-17T18:55:00.000-04:00Mrs. Ashley, don't settle just for the Kindle (alt...Mrs. Ashley, don't settle just for the Kindle (although very cool) get ALL the above.
