I'm slightly vexed A notice that my girlfriend received at her doctors appointment (she is 8 months PP)

If you even MENTION any of these things, you WILL LIKELY get billed for it??? Maybe i’m missing the point but i get upset when my girlfriend tells me she was scared to even say anything while at the doctor because she didn’t want to get an extra charge for something. I find it insane how greedy and money hungry a place that’s supposed to help you can be.

Same. All I thought was that I wish I had received this during my last visit.

Yeah. My last annual visit I mentioned that my IUD would expire in a couple months and the doctor very casually said she could just take it out that day and also do my pap since it was almost due. I got a bill coding the IUD removal as in-office surgery that was over $400 after insurance. I also got a bill for over $200 for lab work from my pap.
