That was my experience for about 10 years and it sucked because the NP was a fucking retard. I think I saw my actual doctor twice in that whole time.
Then the practice got you out by a big hospital system and now I can actually pick what doctor to see and I can actually see THAT doctor. It's nice, but if I go outside that hospital system for anything at all I get completely buttfucked on my insurance.
What annoys me now is they never ask for payment at the office. They always send a bill in the mail. I'd rather just give them money right instead of fucking with their stupid website.
Cleveland Clinic now has you paying at a kiosk right as you walk in the door. It's kind of weird.
I think I'd prefer that instead of getting a surprise in the mail weeks later.
Oh you still get that too!
The kiosk takes the copay. If they have anything else billable they invoice you.
