Question about a bill I recieved from my doctor’s appointment?
I have short term health insurance since I missed the deadline to apply at my job.
I recently made a doctor’s appointment because I’ve been having consistent headaches that won’t go away.
Anyways, I made a new patient appointment and it was just a typical visit, they took some vitals, asked me questions and typed on the computer, etc.
A few days ago I got a letter in the mail that was my explanation of benefits. It said the total charged for that visit is $348 but the repriced amount is $250.96 Then there was a remark section that said preventative care is not covered and I may be charged the total amount.
When I logged on to my online portal for my doctor’s website to pay the bill, it said I have a balance of $348.
This is the first time I’ve ever went to the doctors in years, probably since high school, so I never really used my insurance or had to pay any medical bills. But shouldn’t my bill for the visit be $250.96 not $348?
They are closed today so I will have to wait until tomorrow to call
