Caught flak here for excessive charge by vascular surgeon - Noyb

Posted: Oct 08, 2013

Back in September went to a vascular surgeon who saw me for a few minutes, said had no clue why my legs tired, hurting at night and proceeded to charge my insurance $325.00. I thought excessive being as nothing done. Others here said I had to pay for his office, his staff, and on and on. I called my insurance company, reported as excessive. I cancelled followup with him. Yesterday self referred to another physician, location approximately same as first. This particular physician said what he thought it could be, what he did not think it was and ordered 2 tests for me to have done. Now here is the closer. As I left his office asked about the charges for the visit, my copay and told nothing, not 1 red cent. As I stated before here, not every single visit constitutes an excessive charge, some consults do not cost anything, as in this case and did not feel like either I or my insurance company gouged excessive amount as with the first physician.
