MissConstrueAlright, this is absolutely first world problems, but holy mother of healthcare, am I furious.
So, I saw a doctor in the #Baylor system (who have purchased most medical practices in the area), a few weeks ago. I paid the doctor at the time of the visit. ($165 after insurance). I knew there was a facility fee, but refused to pay it, because it's egregious.
I got an email this morning from Baylor saying I owed another $300 for facility fees. (I was waiting for the bill, so I could talk to someone about it.)
So I called and said "Hey, this charge is unreasonable, and well outside usual and customary fees."
And their response, as Bob is my witless was, "Our fees are defensible." Which means they had lawyers sitting up figuring out to the last penny what they think they can get away with.
Those lawyers never met me.
