At
the
time
I
visited
Kelsey-Seybold,
I
had
insurance.
It
was
not
great
insurance,
but
I
had
something.
It
was
a
high
deductible
plan
which,
as
I
understand
it
doesn't
really
pay
anything,
but
negotiates
discounts.
I
initially
chose
a
doctor
at
Kelsey-Seybold
because
most
other
doctors
that
accepted
my
insurance
were
booked
for
months.
My
initial
visit
was
fully
covered.
I
had
a
really
hard
time
getting
anyone
to
tell
how
much
anything
was
going
to
cost,
which
discouraged
me
from
seeing
the
doctor
or
doing
any
of
the
tests
he
requested.
After
a
subsequent
health
scare,
I
decided
to
go
back
and
see
the
doctor.
I
did
a
virtual
visit
which
was
surprisingly
frustrating.
I
was
asked
to
be
15
minutes
early
to
the
virtual
visit
for
some
reason,
and
then
the
doctor
was
about
30
minutes
late.
We
talked
for
5-10
minutes.
The
bill
for
this
was
$269.14.
Doctors
on
Demand
without
insurance
costs
$75.
Most
providers
offer
free
virtual
visits
since
they
take
very
little
effort
on
the
doctor's
part.
In
addition,
I
was
charged
another
$129.19
for
something
which
I
had
already
paid
for,
but
Kelsey-Seybold
decided
I
needed
to
pay
more.
I
can’t
even
remember
what
it
was
for
and
their
patient
portal
won’t
tell
me.
My
doctor
had
ordered
a
test
for
me,
but
I
was
reluctant
to
do
it
because
the
prices
at
this
place
are
so
crazy.
A
few
weeks
later,
after
increasing
concern
about
my
health,
I
decided
to
ask
about
the
test.
I
was
told
the
test
would
cost
$129.19.
I
was
extra
diligent
about
asking
about
the
cost
because
of
the
outrageous
virtual
visit
cost
and
being
charged
extra
after
the
fact
for
whatever
the
other
thing
was.
After
the
test,
I
was
anxious
to
get
my
results
which
the
doctor
did
not
immediately
evaluate.
The
doctor
had
also
asked
for
a
follow-up
with
me,
and
although
I
knew
it
would
be
expensive,
I
thought
it
would
be
worthwhile
to
get
my
results
in
a
timely
manner.
I
made
the
appointment
and
I
was
told
this
in
person
visit
would
cost
$189.66!
This
is
WITH
insurance.
I
reluctantly
bit
the
bullet
because
I
really
wanted
to
get
my
test
results
as
fast
as
possible.
A
few
weeks
later,
Kelsey-Seybold
emailed
me
stating
that
I
owe
them
even
more
money.
After
the
visit,
after
being
told
I
would
pay
$189.66,
Kelsey-Seybold
decided
I
should
pay
yet
more
and
billed
$387
for
a
10-15
visit
with
the
doctor,
leaving
me
with
a
$79.48
balance.
They
claim
my
insurance
"covered"
$117.86,
but
what
that
really
means
is
the
insurance
was
able
to
secure
a
discount.
So
basically
they
decided
initially
to
give
me
a
$197
discount
and
then
later
decided
not
to.
They
also
decided
I
owed
more
than
they
initially
quoted
me
for
the
test
I
took
and
are
asking
for
an
additional
$18.45.
Only
go
here
if
you
like
never
really
knowing
how
much
anything
is
going
to
cost,
but
knowing
that
whatever
it
is,
it's
going
to
be
outrageous.
