I had a UTI. I left my Dr’s nurse a voicemail, as I’ve done for as long as I can remember, asking for them to call meds into the pharmacy. My Dr knows I’m on a high deductible plan for a while and works with me to ensure proper insurance coding. This time her nurse called back and said we needed to set up a telehealth. They’ve never done it before but I just figured she got more tech savvy from Covid. Two months later and I got a 155$ bill for a 30 second “telehealth” where my Dr basically just verified my pharmacy. If I had known it would be that much I would’ve toughed it out and drank cranberry juice. The 30$ for the meds was already ridiculous. When I called the dr’s billing person she gave me this speech about Covid and safety protocols. It was bizarre. I don’t know if she’s new or if they need the cash but I feel duped and tricked and stuck with this bill I can’t pay. What do I do?
