[QUOTE="rainyseason, post: 382969"] Thats how I feel! I'm so tired of it! We pay them, ok, well we pay into our insurance and then pay 20% till we cap (Anthem), but 20%, plus the deuctable and the co-pay for a guy who gets paid hundreds an hour, each appointment with neuro lasting 4 hrs, plus the trip to the Cleveland Clinic which is an hour away etc....I mean OMG, we built the addition on this guys house! Now we're adding the psychiatrist and psychologist, plus the oral surgeon because my sons seizures have detroyed his teeth...and dental (guardian is the WORST dental insurance EVER) , never pays what health does and psychology...don't even get me started on the hoops we're running through for that. Once a week (psychology) 15$ co~pay, twice a month (psychiatry), 15$ co-pay, once a month neuro (15$ co~pay), EVERY appointment, Cleveland Clinic parking garage 10$ as we are always over the time frame to get cheaper parking. Gas to drive an hour away (All of these docs work out of the same hospital....mainly because at least we know they are in our network). medications that are costing a fortune.....AND this neuro wanted to know why I was dragging my feet making appointments for psychiatric (my insurance doesn't pay much for that).
