I get a lot more than on the list for my wellness visit. Bloodwork is always done ahead before I see him, otherwise what’s the point. I told him I don’t mind telemedicine but the PA insisted that I came in, so I did. They always took$25 in cash ahead and when I’m done they gave me back $25.
The eye doctor here is 40 per visit, so I see him once a year, but he recommended that I see the specialist more often, last time is to keep a base in case of cataract surgery, this time my eyes have been stabilized for 5-6 years, so I was just silent, not agreeing, not disagreeing either. But the specialist charged me $150 copay and that was 4-5 years ago. I’m not going to see him often, not when my eyes are getting better. My overall health is 100% better. I might have slight cataract but not glaucoma, nothing serious.
