Just went for a check up and there is a new "Admin Fee."
GYN - $5 is you need additional admin today, inclusive of copies of your medical records
OB - $20 for all paperwork (one pregnancy) - pay one time today
OR:
You can waive out, but if in the future you need items, every item will be $20.
From the perspective of running a business, I understand this. Making copies, scanning, printing off imaged docs and the cost of personnel to handle these tasks is a cost to the business and isn't covered by ins.
This is a large practice and smaller practices most likely don't have this fee; however, I can see a trend in this direction if physicians lose control over their practices.
Has anyone else experienced this? Gonna gitcha one way or another.
