[quote=Anonymous]Took my kid to the pediatrician the other day. Their new office policy is to have parents authorize them to charge a credit card on file. I don’t love this policy, but I was going to go with it. I wrote that they could charge up to $20, which more than covers my co-pay. I took the form to the desk and was told that the minimum is $100. I pushed back, explaining that I have very good insurance with a low co-pay and I would want to know that I was being charged any more than $20 before they took that action. I was told that the office manager would be calling me.

I’m inclined to stand my ground, because I have been billed erroneously doctor’s offices, and once they have your money it’s hard to get it back. This hasn’t happened with this office, but I don’t even autobill my utilities.

When all is said and done, we really like our pediatrician. I’m trying to decide it it’s worth it to give on this if they say we are out of the practice if we don’t authorize this.
