<prompt> Human: Hi all,Going to try to condense this as much as possible, I appreciate any advice!I went to an urgent care recently in-network for something lodged in my throat. I could breathe around it, but not swallow it. I had been trying to for 1.5 hours before going. I went, checked it, and sat on a table. A nurse came, checked my blood pressure, and told me that the most they would be able to do is give me a muscle relaxing drug to help it move down - but I never got the drug. Then she left for 20 minutes. during that time, it finally worked itself down. I told them, they said it was great, and then 15 minutes later a doctor came in, asked if I was ok, and held a stethoscope to my lungs and asked me to breathe and I was sent home.I expected a medium sized bill I understand that it takes work to process someone, clean the table they were on, etc, but given that I probably spent 1 min total with a medical professional I didnt expect anything crazy. I got my bill and it was 1045 reduced to 847 by the agreed upon rate by my insurance. I have a high deductible plan, so this would be coming out of pocket. Any advice? This seems absolutely insane.Im also now seeing a Received, but not Completed claim by the doctor for 766  <response>: I had a similar experience a few years ago. I visited urgent care, they weighed me, etc and I saw a doctor. The doctor said they couldnt treat me and I was gone in around 20 minutes. Received a bill for 800 a few weeks later. I called in to complain and they knocked 10 off and said they could do payment plans. I asked what the lowest payment was and they said any amount and as long as I was continuously paying each month it wouldnt accrue interest or go to collections. I set my payment at 1 per month. It was great because I would get a mailed an invoice each month that cost them like 65 cents to send. Eventually someone called and said my new minimum was 25, but their website kept accepting my 1 payments and I was using pre-tax HSA funds. After 5 or 6 months I stopped receiving invoices and nothing has shown up on my credit. They must have just waived the entire amount due. For the record I could have just paid the invoice in full but given they didnt do anything during my visit I felt an 800 bill was unfair.
