One of the other mysteries for me is why simple office visits with limited time with a professional still cost hundreds. I acknowledge nurse practitioners exist but it doesn’t seem to have helped pricing much from where I’m standing. I still see mysterious codes billed and exorbitant expenses, often for only 15 minutes of time with a FNP, and usually after lengthy wait times at my expense.
