Yes I went to the ER for an ingrown fingernail. I knew some cutting would be required so I didn't want to go to a Doc-in-a-box.

Procedure was done by an ER M. D.
Local anesthesia
Etc.

I got the bill today.



My share? $40. 😳😁

1. Lucky you! Mine: $5000. Diagnosis; "We don't know. Make an appt with a cardiologist."

2. $40 for a lollipop and a band aid?!

I'm teasing. I read the last post and know it was something that needed to be taken care of.

3. Wow!

Take that and run with it. My spouse had to go to the ER for a few stitches in his hand after a pickle jar shattered while he was rinsing it. Our deductible hadn’t been met so we owed the whole bill...$1100 for 3 stitches done by the PA. 😑

4. Why didn't your want regular doc to help you?

It sounds like a common problem that is a routinely handled in every GPs office.

5. Don't have one. Use doc in a box

Very near my home. Now with Anthem's LiveHealth app I can FaceTime with an M. D. for routine type stuff. They can write prescriptions and even notes for work. $25 copay right now, starting in July no copay.
