They turned out fine, but it was a $400 lesson to next time get any back x-rays from a participating ortho. Somehow I knew that, but what I could've done was question the total cost before the procedure. Hindsight = 20/20. Plus I used to work for medical insurance and like I said I should've known better. His cost estimate for $75 per adjustment session 2x a week is what I passed on.

Too often there are ways that the system is abused. I call Shenanigans. Had one doctor that was getting paid each week from my insurance. I saw the doctor 1x a month. When I asked him about it, he said that he set aside 30 minutes each week to answer any questions I may have. The shenanigan (SP) that bothers me perhaps the most, was when I would get surgery for c I had in my thirties. I made sure that the surgeon was covered. I got huge bills for anesthesia . I said on my future surgeries I wanted to use a group that accepted my insurance. No can do. The hospital had an exclusive agreement with one group, a group that did not take insurance.
