I am not surprised to see all these comments on how the medical profession has become a profession that is working the system. I am always trying to figure out ahead of time, how they gonna get me. It is sad. You used to go to your doctor as a trusted ally. Now we are on different sides trying to get the most out of our dollars.. and I do believe all these upcharges and forced visits are driving the expanded cost of Medicare. There is also "medical coding" which is how an office gets the most dollars for their charges. That has become a huge area for fraud.
