Default Double co-pays at Advanced Dermatology

My wife has used Advanced Dermatology for several years. During her last checkup, they identified two Basal Cell spots that required attention. One co-pay for diagnosis.

They required separate appointment for each spot. Ok, not unreasonable.

However, each removal required two co-pays. One for the Mohs doc to cut it out, and one for another doc to stitch her up. In the past, one doc has done both, for one co-pay.

She called BCBS to see if this was kosher, and they could care less.

So, a total of 5 co-pays for her annual checkup.

Looking for a new dermatologist.
