@carolinlv and @shelleyw I guess there is more money to be made in colonoscopies and endoscopies than in office consults. Medical care has become all about money - one may as well remove the word “care” associated with “Medical”.

I am certain of that, especially after looking at the paid information received from my providers. Thankfully, we have Medicare and TRICARE because my husband was military for 22 years. I can’t imagine fending off some of these bills without it. Of course, I also don’t understand how they escalate the numbers when they’re charging insurance versus getting a co-pay from an individual. I understand they have to make their money, but all of the specialists seem to become invisible and impossible to get in touch with unless you have certain requests of them. I don’t know when answering machines for appointments became a thing. And then you’re at their whim for a callback.
