My daughter hurt her knee in the soccer game last night. After blowing through our flexible spending account paying for a surgery we paid off our deductible and are working towards our out-of-pocket maximum.
Whenever patients reach this point in their insurance plan, their incentives flip? Can I come three times a week? How many visit do I have remaining in my plan?
If once a week was appropriate before hitting that point, once a week is still appropriate.
Did I hesitate to have an orthopedist look at her knee? Nope. She needs to have her knee examined. Will I hesitate to have my daughter’s knee MRI’d? Not for a second. Making certain her meniscus and ACL are intact is important information to have. The cost is not a huge issue now.
These are the rules to the game they laid out. I am just playing their game.
