It took me three hours ( and I waited patiently for more responses ) before receiving the information and picking what seemed like an reasonable course of action. I obviously googled before to prepare myself of having my HSA wiped out. The horror stories told me it would be.[0]
In fact when the walk in center referred me to an ortho and said "It will be expensive. Here's a list of good ones" I asked if it was going to be "$800 dollar expensive?" at which point I was looked at by both the front-desk person and the Emergency medicine doctor as if I had grew two heads in front of them. They said "About 250 to see a specialist and about $800 for an MRI."
One of the two surgeons that I have selected based on their responses who could see me the next day were on the list of good ones ( ~30 ) that I was provided by the walk in center. No referral code was needed.
The surgeon offices, the walk in center and the physical therapists were having near orgasmic reactions hearing that it was going to be paid as a part of high deductible plan because it means that it is paid from a regular Mastercard as if I was a cash patient, immediately, the same day.
[0] I have taken friends to ER. They were never seen faster than 3-4 hours.
