Had to see (another) specialist. Wife rang to make appointment and asked for cost of consultation - $250.
Had appointment and was deemed not to have dementia or Altsheimers! Sweet relief!!
Paid bill of $525!!! Bloke had thereby caused me to become demented!:D:p
Seriously though, where do these people get off? Every other specialist I see costs $250.
To cap it off the HICAPS gizmo played up and we had to go to Medicare.The medicare people looked up
the consult on the computer and found the details had gone through but that the payment to us was not
in our account.
Now in order to sort that out the specialist's secretary (wife) was told by Medicare that she had to cancel
something to set the record straight. Her first response was "But what about our money?" Her second
response was "But what about our money?" !!!!!!!!!! THEY HAD BEEN PAID BY ME!!!! Their money, ie. too
much of my money was already in their account!!!!
Obviously patients don"t count!!!
