    As a Canadian I genuinely can’t tell if this is an exaggeration or not.

      Depends on about a billion of different factors, but the answer could range from “yeah it’s an exaggeration” to “its actually a generous estimate”

  Oh, you see an actual doctor? I haven’t seen an actual doctor in the last like 3 years, always just a physicians assistant or other nurse.

  Still get charged the dr copay though, funny how that works.

  I wouldnt be surprised if the doctor is an AI construct and theyre just running my symptoms through whatever insurance company provided AI bullshit at this point.

    TBD, there is no “doctor copay.” The copay is a visit fee imposed by your insurance company that disincentivizes people from visiting the doctor. It’s also usually a paltry amount compared to the actual amount your insurance will pay the practice, and reimbursement fees for NPs and PAs are absolutely lower than for MDs

      My bills literally list them as separate line items, theres the clinic copay, then the doctor copay.

      Occasionally I even get two separate bills, one from the hospital, one from the Dr. Guessing their practice is the source of the one and the hospital system is the other?

      Either way its fuckin annoying to be paying out of pocket 30+ bucks only to be told the equivalent of “gee i dunno take Tylenol I guess”.
