We are taking our healthy child to see a new pedi in California. I notice it was scheduled as a “new patient visit”. I’ve asked their staff if that is included in our free annual physical (we have a high deductible plan which allows for 1 free physical). Unfortunately, they say they don’t know, the doc medical assistant tells me to call billing which I did and billing tells me to speak to the medical staff. So I am not sure if I am going to be charged for a “new patient visit” along with the “physical”.
Should I just cancel the appt and find a new pedi? I don’t want to be stuck with a major bill. Not sure what the standard is for billing in California for new patient physicals, if you are a new patient.
