[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we all should ask our doctors every single time, "WHat's the charge?" and should call up our insurance companies on the spot - "how much of this do you cover?"

Yes, appointments will take a lot longer.  But until we all start doing this, nothing will ever change.

Imagine if 8 women EACH DAY in your OBGYN office asked the doctor "How much will this cost?" and sat there on the phone waiting to check with the insurance company? The doctor's office would now have an incentive to post the fees and codes and even to report back what other women found out would be the cost.[/quote]

Every insurance has different specifics. There is absolutely no way for a medical office to know this. Policies can change from week to week. Many offices accept dozens of insurance policies.

Also- there is no office where doctors see 8 patients per day, unless it is concierge.

There are multiple threads per year with complaints about waiting for doctors. This suggestion will not result in the change you are looking for.[/quote]
