They require $300.00 up front (I don`t have any insurance) and require you to apply for and accept a "health care credit card" which I didn`t want. The Dr. spent 15 minutes lokking at 2 xrays from the hospital, wrapped my ankle with Ace bandage. I received their bill today for over $1,300.00. Listed costs were for "treatment to a closed fracture" ! A 1300.00 dollar Ace Bandage!!! I have got to have someone look into this but I don`t know where to begin. Any suggestions?
