Cost of follow-up colon cancer tests an issue: Hospital fees for doctor office visits common
2016
Overview
Q: A stool-based DNA test to screen for colon cancer is readily paid for by health plans, including Medicare. But if I have a positive Cologuard test result, I'd have to pay several hundred dollars for a diagnostic colonoscopy. Doesn't this discourage people from getting screened for colon cancer? The best way to protect yourself from unexpected facility fees is to get details from the physician's office before you visit, said Richard Gundling, senior vice president at the Healthcare Financial Management Association, a group for professionals in health care finance. That way, you can make an educated decision about whether to proceed before you get a surprise bill. \"The patient should always ask, 'What is my out-of-pocket cost for this visit?' \" Q: My husband's family physician is a member of MDVIP, one of many \"concierge\" practices in which a doctor or group of doctors generally charge an annual fee for faster appointments, more access to the doctor, more time with him during appointments and preventive services during the annual wellness visit that aren't included in a regular Medicare annual wellness visit. Is the annual fee of $1,650 tax deductible?
