Back in 2020, my son needed a Covid test for some event related to school. We called his doctor's office and made an appointment for the test. We showed up for the appointment, and we had to wait an extra 20 minutes because the doctor was late, only to be told "we don't do that testing". Then got a bill for $100 for a doctor's appointment.

- ToucanLoucan 3y agoI went for a covid and strep test during the tail end of the pandemic, and happened to pick the closest clinic, cuz you know, I felt like shit and didn't want to go far. This costed me $240, which seemed slightly fucking insane, so I called. Because the place was understaffed, I had to be seen by a doctor instead of a nurse, which for added fun was an out of network doctor. I didn't even KNOW he was a doctor at all, and never bothered to check the network status of the clinic because, again, it was a fucking covid and strep test. The strep test costed me about $20, the covid test was free, and the doctor who spent about 60 seconds reading me the results on the page was $220. Fucking. Ridiculous.
