I am afraid that these sort of things may become a lot more common if the proposed healthcare bill passes - if the Doctors can't get their $$ from reimbursements they will look to get it from us however they can. So far here in NJ none of my husband's or my medical persons are asking for anything extra - but then, we're not Medicare yet.
