    THIS.

    I had one done at Methodist Sports Med for $400 cash. Methodist hospital and St Vincent hospital both wanted $2500 for the same procedure when I was shopping around.

    The only difference was mine was done in a strip mall, and the other would have been in an actual hospital. But same exact results.

    Oh, and no parking garage cost either. LOL
    I learned that lesson - the strip mall place had me in before my scheduled appt, the hospital would have been an hour after (or more).

    I just got bit. Got the bill today for xrays at the Franciscan sports med facility in Mooresville. $700 for 4 images.

    Apparently since the professional building is attached to the hospital, its considered the hospital so I paid full Hospital rates within the professional building. :xmad::xmad::xmad::xmad::xmad::xmad:

    Not sure how many there are like this but we're joining a doctor's membership program that is a set fee per month. All visits are free and they have deeply discounted procedures, X-ray services, they're own pharmacy etc, even the drugs that actually work for Wuflu. They do not accept insurance (which I do also have) so they don't get told what to do by big pharma. If you want a jab fine, you want ivermectin fine.
    The SICKNESS industry is absolutely a joke, no doubt about it! I feel like they insurance companies are just as bad

    I don't know anything about NY law, but I would assume (I know I know ass you me and all) any business operating in Indiana would have to comply with IN laws.
    That is why insurance is state regulated. NY insurance may force you to pay for coverage you do not want and Indiana does not require and may not have what Indiana requires.

    State regulated shouldn't mean I can't get coverage by an out of state company. If the out-of-state company wants to sell in IN, they should just have to abide by IN law, same as with sales taxes - each state imposes their own tax structure for that co.

    There seems to be confusion here. Companies based in other states can and do sell insurance in Indiana but the coverage must meet Indiana standards. You cannot buy the policy they sell in other states in Indiana.

    Exactly.

    Acme company sells 5 policy types in each State.
    So, they have 50 policies overall.

    So, the pool is different.
    You can't mix and match, because the laws are so complicated that they have to be researched.
    And updated ever time a state makes a change.

    Went to my Urologist yesterday. She asked me for a pee test. I opened up the little cabinet where you put the pee and there was 3 others in there. Only mine and one other had a name of it SMH
