This must be common

It has happened twice before, but they were in situations where I knew insurance would cover it. I was too much of a non-confrontational pussy to say anything, and it is a sad situation where I need to be angry that a doctor walked in.

I suppose that's really unnecessary info to the OP. I don't mind getting extra eyeballs on our diagnostic, although I think my doctor had it covered, and it was not mentioned as part of the fee schedule. It wasn't thousands of dollars, so that's good.

I am mostly concerned about getting stung on the credit report because we plan on buying a new car in a year and buying a new home in 1-3 years.
