ack! I owe the derm. $$$$$$$$$ UPDATE

Ok poopie news. I have very bad back acne (bacne if you will) and i have been going to a dermatologist since March and every time I go he gives me this cold stuff for my back and antibiotics . . . this has been something that bothered me for over ten years and finally my back looks GOOD and I am so excited for the wedding. SO today i get a bill from my insurance company telling me that I owe the doctor $100!!! The date of service was my very first appt in MARCH. Well, turns out that my copay was $30 but this 'treatment' was $100 EVERY SINGLE TIME! so that is about 20 visits x $100 = $2000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I had known that I wouldnt have gone, I mean it is finally working but it is no miracle cure!!!! I am so upset - I don't know what to do bc I feel like its not my fault. Every visit I would ask how much I owed and they would tell me $30 and that would be it.

I am VERY responsible when it comes to stuff like this but it is not like they list every single treatment in the insurance books so I feel like the office should have at least warned me that it may not be covered! Does anyone have any idea?

okay girls i talked to the derm today. I love him. He bribed me! He said that if I continue to be a regular patient ( weekly or biweekly) he will waive the past due fee of about $2000 AND each visit will be $50 instead of $130 like the insurance says it is supposed to be. i am so excited bc the treatment for my back is DEFINITELY working. . . so i will hopefully have a clear back for the wedding!

THANK YOU for all your responses.
