Okay guys going to keep this short, hear me out on this, looking for some takes on this.
Sometimes (most of the time now) when you go to your primary care for a somewhat minor acute concern you usually see an NP, PA etc. not your doctor. Now this is fine, don't want to take up he or she's time with a strep test or something BUT why do I pay a full copay. Why does a visit with them cost the same amount as a good sit down visit with my doctor.
For specialist care the follow up is almost never with my doctor yet I still pay full price...
Maybe I'm crazy cuz it is a service provided etc but is a short visit with an NP or PA who knew you for maybe 2 min worth as much than one with my doc who's known me for years? Not a chance in my eyes.
