<<Whenever I call a new doctor, the first thing they ask is what insurance I have. I have overheard conversations while in the waiting room indicating that they don't take patients with no or inadequate insurance. If you don't get to see the doctor, how do you run up a bill you can't pay? If you do get to see the doctor anyway, it's because the doctor is prepared to negotiate the bill. So the only wild charges you can incur are in the ER, where there is an expectation of forgiveness.>> WOW. Message 23848291
