US Health Insurance companies are now charging for 2 visits if you take your child in for their regular checkup and ask a question not covered during a routine checkup This isn’t a conspiracy. This happened to this woman not once but twice, and 2 of her friends “So I call, and they're like, oh, yeah, you technically were billed for two visits. And I was like, excuse me? She's like, yeah, it says on here that there was a question asked that didn't involve the physical” “I was blown away. I was so perturbed. I was like, that's absolutely ridiculous. So yesterday when I took my son, my other son, the guy's going through all the, sign here, sign there, then gets to the last one, and then it says, you know, do you give permission to be billed if services aren't covered today. And I said, I don't want to sign this, because how do I know what will be covered, what won't? He's like, oh, that will be determined by your insurance. — So another lady comes over and she goes, well, if they ask you if you have any concerns, you have to say no. And I go, okay, but if I have concerns for my son, that's technically a second visit because it's not covered under his yearly checkup. She goes, yeah, I mind blown. Like, I don't know what this world has come to, but I am just insanely crazy about this kind of stuff. And just recently, I've had two friends post about the same exact situation.” US Health Insurance companies just keep getting worse and worse and nobody in power cares

Thanks for posting!! This is essentially “legal?” fraud by the insurance company with the clinic complicit. Publicity, protest, resistance, and attempting class action retribution via an honest judge ( are there any left?) seems reasonable. Who knows, success in restoring value-for-value justice might save the lives of a few insurance executives.
