yea that doens't sound right to me... sounds like the dr is trying to get richer....

I would investigate it further

No absolutely not. Your insurance won't pay for 2 in one day either.

I'm with QuiltnNan, that sounds like fraud to me. In addition to reporting them to your insurance company, I'd find another doctor, one that's honest.

This is what they are doing now. My doctor splits up her checkups. She does half today and makes you reschedule for the 2nd half and she won't answer any other questions (unless it's an emergency)--just tells you to make another appointment! At least with the double billing you don't have to pay for extra gas or your precious time! I hate it!

if my doctors did that I would absolutely change Doctors..its one visit..they should charge more for each symptom which mine does..not two visits

BluegrassGurl

I have never heard of this.... and also think it is unethical. geeze.... just plain greedy. I would find another doctor.

pocoellie

virtualbernie-I would definitely find another doctor also.

I was charged for everything and no service provided by a local hospital when I took my infant in because of dehydration. Also do not let them put you in a special room unless you need it because the room that was free and they put us in was more. It is crazy.

My doctor will treat any problem, write any prescription that you tell him about. If it is some sort of minor surgery such as removing a mole you will have to reschedule in order to schedule more time than the usual appointment. You can be sick with the flu, have a turned ankle and an ear infection and need a pap smear all in one visit plus a prescription that needs to be renewed for the price of one visit.
