Long story short - my doctor wants me to have a PET scan just to confirm there is not a problem where they think they may see a problem from a CT scan done a few weeks ago.
The only place in town (Lourde's) called from their billing department right after the scan was scheduled. They said that "....after the pre-auth and with your deductible and out-of-pocket the bill will be $1100.00. How would you like to pay that?"
I, to say the least, was shocked.
I politely told them to cancel the appointment and I'll meet with my doctor again to see how compelling this test requirement is.
Holy crap on a stick!
