$150 charge like you do when your car needs a new battery and move on.

A doctor visit shouldn’t cost that much to begin with unless you are having a major test or advanced imaging.

A typical doctor visit although billed at absorbent rates for insurance are only reimbursed at the cost of a typical deductible.

It is a shame that family coverage has gone well over 1k a month. At that price and high deductible plan, a typical family could spend nearly a half or 1/3 of their income on health care. At that point it is no longer insurance but a tax.
