There was an incident a couple years ago where the GP saw me for no more than two minutes, basically brushed me off in a hurry, and then charged me $50 for the office visit. A few days later, after thinking about it, I got pretty upset. I wrote a complaint letter. They followed up and reduced the fee by $25, along with a generic politically correct bogus explanation.
I don't go to that GP anymore, but it is proof that they will sometimes adjust the billing if there is a complaint. Sometimes they're so money oriented they lose sight of logic. JohnL
