The pediatrician

It has been brought to my attention that my pediatrician is EXTREMELY overpriced.

As we took Brendan to his 6 month check up a few weeks ago, we received an EOB in the mail that the visit was not covered. Total office visit, $479.00. That was for 3 vaccines and a wellness checkup.

Now, Brendan is my first child and I have never discussed how much office visit cost with my other mom friends, so I had no idea it was overpriced.

B called the insurance company, come to find out that the prices the pediatrician charges are way out of the norm. So out of the norm, the insurance lady asked what exactly Brendan was having done. To date the pediatrician has billed us $1800 for 4 office visits.

So now, I am on the hunt for a new pediatrician. I think I am going to call South Toledo Pediatrics.

Sucks, because I really liked all the doctors there.
