Dealing with never-ending doctor visits

Google "the cat in the hat on aging"
Think of all the good we do by stimulating the medical economy.
I just got a call from my hospital's business office, and apparently I had two outstanding bills from last year. The total was about $50. I was so happy it was such a small amount that I paid it over the phone right then and there and told the lady to have a nice day. I cannot for the life of me figure out all the billing paperwork.
Every time I get a PSA I get a bill weeks later for $3.18 ??

Oh $3.18?? That’s for the alcohol wipe used to clean your arm before the blood draw.
Insurance companies did a study and found that there is no “patient benefit” to having a sterile surface on your arm where the needle punctures the skin so now the patient has to pay for it…
Yeah, I made that up just now but it’s ridiculous things like that which make my blood boil - AND add billions of dollars to their bottom line.

🤦♂️ There's no way it makes sense to send out a bill for $3.18 every three months. It's probably costing them far more than that just to bill you.
It's a symptom of business processes gone haywire when you see that kind of thing.
