dittos, only they charged me for an anti-smoking conference(?). i called the office & they explained it was a charge for the dr. to talk to me re:smoking for 10 minutes. LOOL. i got them to remove the charge, & am now in the villages health system--everything i need is @ my fingertips & all costs explained. i've read some 'bad' things re: villages health, but they're #1 for us. we havent wanted for care, & whatever isn't covered is carefully explained by the financial staff.
