I wanna know why she mentioned this at all to us. Isn't she friends with Donald Trump? She should send her bill to him and quit crying to us about it.

It's the very nature of private healthcare. What are you, some kind of socialist?

It was simply an appointment to get my Rx refilled and nothing else. Nothing has changed. This is a routine visit that I have to maintain to fill my medication. I've been with the same provider for many years, and again, nothing has changed. I hear her outside the door reviewing my chart before she walks in, and she reviewed my chart, that of a patient she's been treating for years, for a few minutes, before walking in, confirming my identity and what I was filling and sending me on my way.
I could understand it if I was there to get new medications or if I was having some other type of health condition that needed to be checked out. But as I said, I'm very consistent and well-managed and everything is always the same. It may well be justified on some level but from my perspective, it feels like an abuse of the billing codes.

It’s the way the biling system is set up. MDM means moderate, multiple problems with some that are chronic and/or acute with a risk of complications. They take into account time it takes doctor to review your records before seeing you. If it was one issue or just to have a prescription refilled, they might have coded it wrong. Or they would not get paid because the coding system changes every year with your insurer.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

I'm convinced this is true. That, and they intentionally overbill when someone has insurance and they can get away with it.

Medical billing is done by wearing a blindfold and throwing darts at a number board.
