Sandy Utah Office

I am a new patient and explained the issues I've had. The doctor listened and helped my concerns. However, I was never told that the diagnostic anoscopy was going to be seperate from the office visit. After a few weeks they were able to remove the code and help me out. Good business.

Looking at the wound which is only 10cm from practically the rest of the room, without advanced tech, hardly sounds any type of scopy that renders any financial addition that costs the same as the appointment!

Yes, I am aware doctors dont know additional costs beforehand, but let me know if this isnt included, having a doctor checking my behind internally at least 10cm twice before. That was included in the appointment cost, I am not crazy to assume this.

I am in pain and cant remember to ask these important things sometimes that shows how gastro and general physicians bills are different, fill me in, someone, anyone. We talked about a colonoscopy which would've flew by this area anyways so why double charge me?

I already knew and explained I had a fissure and hemmroids, the doctor understood. I was never informed this was going to cost extra to do a mini procedure to confirm the obvious, I would never have approved.

Why is it maybe an expectation that I have to explain what feels like every detail to the doctor to be heard and the burden is on me the patient to ask if something is going to cost extra at the turn of the conversation. I am a sub teacher and I know I have to give clear expectations to my students before consequences of any sort, I don't see how this is any different.

Since the doctor should be focused, shouldn't a nurse explain this to me before starting any additions from the new patient visit? I don't have the money I am a substitute teacher and exercise really good precaution with my diet, related exercises and better-ing techniques and all, so that I am doing my part as a patient.
