There's plenty of scans that cost more than that on their own. I got dramatically run over as a pedestrian and while I turned out fine (for heavily bruised values of fine), I was certainly happy for them to verify that with a CAT scan and some xrays of the more scraped up limbs instead of have them say that it was probably just shock and since I couldn't remember if I had hit my head we could assume it was ok.

Heck I went to the er for chest pains and what felt like an irregular heartbeat when I was 24. Had and ekg and everything. Was still around $300 (after jnsurance) even tho I was fine and it turned out to just be anxiety and dehydration. There is no way I should be convinced by some fucking insurance company that something like this would be better seen in urgent care. What about the 0.1% of people where it actually is serious? What if that allergy to peanuts your kid has is actually life threatening? You want the most comprehensive care available at the time available ASAP.
