I got home from work and checked my mail to find an "Explanation Of Benefits", From Medica.
Back on the first of this month. I saw a ENT Specialist for my nose bleeds. He looked at my nose and then started to spray something up it to numb it up. He then used a q-tip and used silver nitrate on both sides to reduce the nose bleeds. I suppose there were methods at home to reduce the frequency of them but, I wanted to get checked out. Well, I was looking over the 2 page paper and it's showing the deductible and so forth. The office visit was $186 and I paid a $45 copay. They have the little 2 minute cauterization as a Surgical SVC. 
That was billed at $183. Minus the Copay and it's $148. Why in the hell are they calling this a "surgical" procedure when nothing was "cut" ? |

Quoted:
Look at the bright side. You got quality medical treatment at a reasonable price. You assert that the treatment was priced reasonably, and also claim that it was of "quality". Why do you think so? Or, how would someone tell if they were receiving unreasonably priced treatment? Or if they were receiving low quality treatment? |

I assume this to be the case because OP is complaining about how it was coded, not the treatment he received nor the price. |
