Doctor bills

[melodylogan45]

Do you find that  you visit the doctor so much that your bills have piled up so much that you have to stop going. I am at that point now.

I am paying on my bills via payment plans.  So in the fall i will start making appointments again.

Deductibles are so high, unless i have to have surgery i cannot seem to reach it, even as much as I go to the doctor.

I hate going to doctors. Partly for that reason. Every time I turn around, this test is not covered, that test is not covered, so what the hell is covered? So, I have not been to the doctor in a while.

I usually only go when absolutely necessary ..

Without good insurance, it is impossible to seek good medical help.  Sad.

I do not go to the doctor.  I don't have the money.  And where I live they won't even see you until you pay them.  So you can't have a bunch of bills piled up.  A doctor visit is $95 and you pay that before they even take you to the back.  Then if they do blood work or something like that you have to pay that before they will see you again.

It's a shame most things don't seem to be covered.  There is always the co-payment for the visit, the any type of test always costs more.  Then they wonder why more people don't go to the doctor as often as they should.

The medical field is nuts everything goes up and up in price, no wonder people live for long periods of time not knowing what they have

This is sad...I don't go to the doctor any more I don't have insurance...I went into a practice today to see how much it would be for me to see the Nurse Practitioner...she asked which insurance do I have and I said self pay...she said this office is not accepting non insured patients at this time.....it's sad...what are we to do?

It is frustrating, isn't it?  I think the insurance has covered a procedure and a month later I get a bill for part of it UGH

We have too many doctor bills and one will last a long time since we only pay them $50 dollars a month and we owe over $4,000 but that is all we can afford since we are on social security.

Yes, just found out my physical therapy wasnt fully covered AFTER checking to be sure that it was! Now stuck with $200 bill from 1 visit and they wanted me to come weekly! good think i didnt go back, bad for my hips though!

We don't go to the doctor....haven't had the need.  I know deductables are high.....terrible!

Currently I am still on my husband's insurance plan, but I am going thru a divorce so soon I will not have coverage. I am REALLY worried about what my insurance will cost. I am SO glad that Obama felt he needed to get involved and make insurance completely UN-affordable!!!
