Your billing system and check in process isn't bad. It's horrible. It wouldn't take my Medicare number. Then I was charged $273 for a physical that is completely covered under Medicare. Now I need to go through layers of bureaucracy to get my refund. It's a ripoff

Only mistake I made, was i did not see that I should have had labs done prior to leaving building. I did not read the request until I read paperwork upon arriving home. Would be good idea if staff verbally communicated this lab work requirement at end of visit not just hi-lited on paperwork. I do not know when I can sneak back for lab work, I had other appointments when I got home, plus lab work was marked for today's date, might not be honored a few days later ?
