immunizations, too!

I was shocked when I found out how they charge patients for immunizations when I got the bill for our daughter's last visit. They DO NOT let you know this, of course, because they want the $$$$.
If you do not have insurance that covers immunizations, they charge you $14.40 per injection (this is for the immunization and for it to be administered). If you HAVE insurance, they charge your insurance company $120 for the immunization and an addition $20 for it to be administered! After insurance pays we STILL owe more than if we had just payed out of our pocket!
With the number of immunizations they get these days, that will max out your limit for well check-ups VERY quickly.
THIS IS FRAUD. It's the same shot. Our insurance company told us to call the state, the doctor told us to call the insurance company, and the governor's office told us all we could do was file a complaint against the doctor with the state medical board. What a crock. What. A. Crock.

clinic work is way more than GERD and immunizations
you need to know all the lingo, from ENT to urology, plastic surgery, audiology, cardiology, orthopedic, endocrine, dermatology, you need to know it all, and they are all separate specialties with their own lingo; there is a lot to know with multispeciality clinic work.
