I went for my annual women's wellness exam - and found out after the fact that the doctor performed a pregnancy test, when I got my statement.
Let's just say that for various reasons - would be TMI here - the test did not need to be performed.
The charge after the insurance coverage is minimal - under $10 - but it really bugs me that I have to pay for something that did not need to be performed. The office's explanation is that a pregnancy test is their protocol - and the girls running the test didn't know all the reasons the doctor and I had discussed that would mean the test didn't need to be performed.
Being that it's such a small amount would you just pay it and forget about it? Or what would you do?
(this was my first time at this Dr.'s office - aside from this annoyance right now I would probably go back...the Dr. seemed OK.)
