That's how my health plan works. You pay a fee for every prescription, doctor visit or test. <br /><br />That fee is supposed to be a "reasonable and customary" amount arrived at in some kind of negotiation between the insurance co and the providers. <br /><br />In my experience its dramatically less than the providers initially charge, but they don't seem to be able to do anything about it <br /><br />Once you've paid enough fees, copays, prescriptions etc to add up to 4 grand the rest of the year is free.MeatAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477536538497998805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817503750343460336.post-63136393639841875582010-04-28T19:01:04.340-05:002010-04-28T19:01:04.340-05:00I want to ask...
