It has happened again. My friend was all set up for his procedure and part of the fee had to be paid in advance although he is on Medicare. Now he gets a phone call from the doctor who now says there is going to be a different procedure and this is going to cost 4 times as much and he has to come up with 4 times the partial payment now in order to keep his place in line. Do think there should be such thing as planning and networking doctors and maybe their pay not depending on what procedures are performed. Yes, there needs to be changes in health care, but not necessarily the ones being proposed.
