My insurance insist I get my blood pressure checked every 6 months for prescription so I had lined an appt months ago. Then I need blood work for a pre-op so they make the appt. Then they call back and say they mistakenly made them the same day.
I thought cool....two birds, one stone. Then they say they can't do both on the same day. I was furious because the only reason is they are billed different to insurance. So now I've got to go two different days and miss work and whatnot.
They can't check your blood pressure and then take your blood on the same day? That's complete bullshit. I'd demand they are done on the same day or give me a damn good reason why they can't.
That was my contention. The only reason they could give was that its billed separate under different filings and each has to be a standalone visit. Now I'm getting the blood drawn first so if I'm told they are checking my blood pressure that visit its going to be very embarrassing for them when I insist they wait a couple of weeks until I return for the other appointment.

The medical/insurance field is racket.
