I went to a new family physician recently and the front desk ‘confirmed’ twice that they were in-network with my insurance.
I got a routine blood test done, they found my thyroid levels were off and we did a thyroid panel following that. I got charged for the labs of the panel (totally fine – ~$15), but the visit itself is costing me an additional $165. For out pocket costs: Office visit $92, Blood pressure measure $5, BMI Doc $15, Sys Bp $25, Diast Bp $25. If I knew it would cost me $70 to weigh me and check my blood pressure, I certainly wouldn’t have agreed to it…
Anything I can do here? Or should I just cut the loss, pay, and find a new (in-network) office? Thanks in advance!
Edit: updated to clarify the office said they were in-network to me when I asked
