That was the cost of having a DR make a small cut in my finger to drain it after it got infected. Took about 15 minutes. Granted I only have to pay about 15 due to my insurance but still completely ridiculous.

My knees have been bad for a few years and I'm afraid of some obnoxious bill. But I'm finally going to get them checked out soon.

Seems like a very reasonable rate to price it at. The uninsured person will call the hospital and negotiate it to $350 in $50 monthly payments while the insurance companies will knock the bill down to $60 through a PPO contract. Keeps me employed, so I can't knock it too much, but the overhead in medical billing has got to be in at least the tens of billions of dollars a year.

That number is made up. You'll probably get something in the mail that shows what the insurance actually paid. It will be far less than $695.

He should have paid $105 more to go to a vet!
