Me: I’m here for my 10:00 appt
Check in desk: name.... you have an unpaid balance of $29 looks at me like pay up buddy or no see Dr.
Me: my wife pays bills plus after BCBS discounts credits exist.
Check in desk: I’m sorry you have a $29 balance due.
Me: Can I see Dr if I’m homeless? Illegal immigrant.?
Check in desk: I’m sorry?
Me:I make payment CC
Check in desk: thank you. Can I see your insurance card and drivers license.
Me: sure
Check in desk: your checked in oh today’s charge is $69 May I have your card again.
Me: that’s it I’m changing from R to D and voting Bernie in MEDICARE for all . If I don’t pay will I see Dr?
Check in desk: I can’t answer that sir.

This is why we need charity hospitals. Earl k long was an excellent hospital that trained physicians and helped poor people.

I really don’t see the problem with that exchange? You had an unpaid balance that they took care of then took payment for this visit?. Where is the problem? If you had problems or questions about the unpaid balance ask to speak to someone in billing, if you could not make the payment and needed to work out an agreement or plan, I am sure they would allow it and let you see the dr?

So you are mad that they wouldn't let you see your doctor until you paid the $29 you owed him/the clinic from a previous visit? You sound petty. I couldn't imagine being 60 years old and getting frustrated over a $29 dollar bill I rightfully owe to a place I've had a relationship with for 20 years.
