I recently had a doctor’s visit wherein I was given Botox injections to aid with migraines. When looking up the cost ahead of time, I was told that with insurance the cost was typically $200, and without insurance it was about $600. I’ve just received the bill from my health insurance provider, and according to them, they covered approximately $2000 of the procedure which leaves me paying $750. That’s more than even the estimate WITHOUT insurance. I’m not sure how this became such a ludicrously expensive procedure compared to estimates online. Does anybody have experience with this sort of price gouging before? I’ve already called the hospital and they insist that the cost of the procedure is $2000, and then there were additional costs for “processing fees” due to my insurance. What is going on here? Let me know if there’s another subreddit I should be posing this question towards, too. Thanks!
