The problem might have started when the doctor found out that you had secondary insurance. He thought, "Wow, I'll be able to talk her into all kinds of expensive tests and she'll go for it. Ca-ching! $$$$$$"

I don't blame you, I blame the doctor. But I think it's all too easy for the patient to be trusting when cost is not a factor. If you had to pay 20% you might not have been so trusting.
