Haven't been to see my reg doctor in about 2 yrs, but before that, when I did go, nurse & doc kept trying to get me to do procedures that the insurance wanted me to get done because of my age & because I haven't had these done yet or not in many many years. I just say no, I don't want to schedule an appt for them, and they would get a bit annoyed with me. The reason I know it was the insurance is because the nurse was clicking everything in on the computer and it must have popped up on the screen to ask me about getting a procedure done, and when I said no to the procedure, she got a bit upset and let it slip that the insurance company wants me to get it done. I still said no. One time the nurse scheduled an appt with a specialty doctor without my permission. When that other docs office called me to let me know of appt, I told the receptionist to cancel the appt because I didn't ask for it.
And don’t get me started about insurance companies making billions off the misfortune of keeping us all sick!!! The whole system needs to be trashed.
