Default Neuro Appointment Today
Today I have my followup appointment since my last flareup. Since I lost my job I lost my health insurance also. I called this morning to see how much it was going to cost and they told me since it was a followup visit it would be under $85. They told me to come and they would set up a payment schedule and I wouldn't have to pay anything for a month if I had to. The said they would rather see me and not have me pay then go without the appointment. I was impressed to say the least.

I am glad for I wanted to be able let him know what is going on. Not a good time to actually get a dx but I should have insurance by the first of next month. I am just waiting for a call back from my agent.

Good luck, Char. You know, you can negotiate your fee with the doctor's office....you might have to prove you have no income but generally they will work with you.

I'm glad they wanted you to keep the appointment. Please let us know how it went.

Have you applied for unemployment yet?
