[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people abuse urgent care for earwax removal? [/quote]

“Abuse”? There are urgent cares on every block. They want business. This isn’t the ER.[/quote]

Of course they want the business, but it is wasting $200.[/quote]

$200?  Maybe on your insurance. Not on mine.[/quote]

It's $200 on other people's insurance because insurance providers pay big money to urgent cares to do things that people can do at home.

Not saying any particular person shouldn't go.  It's just that pushing low skill corrective actions onto an expensive, professionally outfitted clinic is creating a more expensive health care industry.

I just went to an urgent care today.  With something that many people would say to go to the ER for.  The urgent care thinks I'm okay.  I'm glad to have their advice but also not to generate 4x the cost by visiting the ER.  And not to wait hours since I'm relatively well compared to ER patients.[/quote]
