"....So just to be safe, on June 12, Charara took their son to the same SignatureCare, the Heights location, for a COVID-19 test. The line was so long they had to wait for hours, go home, come back and wait for hours again in their car in the 100-degree heat. Charara, a poet who teaches at the University of Houston, said he didn’t take a close look at the financial disclosure paperwork. De Cordova wasn’t with them. It had been 10 hours of waiting by the time the boy was tested, so “I would have signed anything,” he said. (The child tested negative.)

Charara, de Cordova and their children are covered by the Employees Retirement System of Texas, a taxpayer-funded benefit plan that covers about half a million people. They hadn’t received any notices about the charges for their son. So they contacted the SignatureCare billing department and asked for an itemized statement. The test charge was indeed $175. But the total balance, including the physician and facility fees associated with an emergency room visit, came to $2,479.

The facility fee was $1,784 and the physician fee $486...."

so after smoking that gram earlier all i got out of it was a headache. i don't specifically think i will get much benefit, or atleast realize it, because i have no real ailments and my arthritis isn't so out of control that i even need meds to subdue the pain. still, sleeping is hard for me at a decent hour, my appetite isn't always there, and joint pain is something i'm interested in curbing if i can do so with some real high grade cbd.

As she waited, de Cordova realized she didn’t want to play insurance roulette. She changed her mind and decided she’d pay the $175 out-of-pocket for her test. But when the SignatureCare nurse came to collect the paperwork, de Cordova said the nurse told her, “You can’t do that. It’s insurance fraud for you to pay for our services once we know you have insurance.”

That is absolutely NOT insurance fraud.

"I didn't read the article and wants someone to understand it for me."

Basically the health care provider offering the tests vastly overcharged the insurance company for their services.

Piece for what? To tell this lady to go home and rest? Or will it give you piece of mind to know that this is another case and add it to the panic.

Loll

The OP's quotes are a lesson in stupidity. A poetry teacher didn't read the document, signed anyhow, waited 10 hours in line with people who were likely at least some % positive, and yet his child was negative. Then all he found to bitch about was the cost.

This is what happens when panic causes people to do stupid shit.

Then the price shouldn't matter. If it's not medically justifiable, only emotionally... then you deserve to be financially molested.

Yes, blame the person for having to wait ten hours for a surprise $2k plus pandemic virus test.
