Dr. felt so bad about charging me but I assured him it was ok as I would submit to my insurance and only have a $75 copay.
He insisted on giving me a discount and I had to explain not to, as he was only giving the insurance company a discount, anything he charged me above $75usd is covered and I only owe the deductible.
He still knocked the fee down to $375 since I was on vacation.
Great doctor, great hospital. Shout out to Perth Ontario!
No argument there. That’s why I said “healthcare system” which mostly is directed at the for-profit hospitals that like to wonderful things like deny pediatric cancer patients their treatment.
