Is this the norm at all doctor's offices these days? I sure don't recall signing something like that in the past, but I've had the same doctor for the last 15 years and I know things have changed.
I have a high deductible plan so we could be paying a lot anyway, if we suddenly had to start seeing a doctor.....as of now, we go to our once a year check up and that's about it.

Be sure your current insurance carrier is covered by the Center. My husband and I are participating - it's a good thing and the Marcus Welby style of dispensing medical care is long in coming to The Villages!
