    As an American I fucking wish any doctors visit was that cheap. Even with insurance it feels like they take me for $500+.

      Oh no no no, see, they pay for the doctor, that is just $35. However, the lab work that is contracted out isn’t covered, that’s gonna be $300. Also, the nurse is a travel nurse from an agency based on Michigan, so they are definitely out of network for your plan, that’ll be another $150. There is also a bill processing fee to figure out how much to charge you, but that’s only another $35. We also charge a payment process fee, so add another $15 for having the privilege of paying us.

      This is why I only get check on if I absolutely have to after I got kicked off my parent’s insurance. Only recently been to the doctor’s due to worker’s comp because I was injured on the job.
