Got a $450 bill for my Pap smear because the office put me as self pay and didn’t charge my insurance. That’ll get sorted out (although annoying) but can we talk about how a screening test is $450……

What’s wild about medicine is before the pandemic, if I was sick like this, I would’ve taken some cold medicine, sucked it up, and gone into the hospital (without a mask). Why on earth was that the expectation?

@DrHarryDOesHep I don’t disagree with you, but we’re taught that screening tests need to be cheap and have a high sensitivity. $450 is cost prohibitive to many patients, which negates the effectiveness of a screening test
