[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 561215, member: 1157"] I have a high deductible plan now and this is one of my worries. I've heard from other friends with similar plans that doctor's offices etc. aren't quite used to the plans yet, and they sometimes are quite confused when you ask how much something will cost. One friend of mine found out, after they scheduled an MRI of her knee at the hospital connected to the doctor's office, that an MRI center across town would costs hundreds less. The scheduling people were puzzled as to why she'd want to go across town, it hadn't occurred to them to schedule anywhere else. I recently had to get a nebulizer and asked the nurse what it would cost because I had a high deductible plan, and she said,"oh, it's les than $100." Well just got the bill... umm no it's almost $400.00. It would be $60 with "traditional" insurance. Wish I'd had time to shop around for that, but, I kind of needed to breathe at the time so I just took what the doctor's office gave me. Frustrating. Good luck fighting this! [/QUOTE]
