Reply #22: I received my insurance statement for

[doc03]

a stress test I had last month at the Doctors office. The total providers charge was $2464.80 I have very good insurance since I belong to a labor Union so I am responsible for $126.06. I also saw the Doctor for about 2 minutes after the test and was billed $130.00 for that of which I am responsible for a $15.00 co-pay. I thought the idea of the Doctor's office call was to get the results of the stress test, he said oh no we won't have the results for that for a couple days. So I was scheduled for another office visit in June to actually get the results, that will be another $130.00 and I will be responsible for a $15.00 co-pay again. You know I think they could like call and tell me if the test revealed any kind of problem, but no they need another $130 to tell me the results.
The total cost of the stress test was $2724.80 my share was $156.06.
