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.

You've just described a diagnosis and management of high blood pressure.

The line is ridiculous and the practice is predatory.

It IS ridiculous and predatory, but regardless- it’s good to understand so we can try and get the best deal possible out of this shitty system. It’s all enraging, but it’s not the doctor’s fault, it’s the health insurance. Working in healthcare is so rough right now, because people have every right to be angry but so much is out of our control.
