<prompt> Human: So I went in for a physical with my new GP on my new insurance plan 2,000 deductible. Doctor said he wanted me to do a heart ultrasound, to which I said, Please confirm its covered by my insurance and let me know the cost first. Came back shortly thereafter, said it was covered, got the test. Just got the bill. 639. Down from 1,060.Obviously, assload of money, for a test that wasnt part of the normal physical battery, and for which I feel like he should have told me I was still going to pay an absurd amount. Can I take any kind of action? Or am I fucked since I havent met my deductible yet?  <response>: Doctor said he wanted me to do a heart ultrasound, to which I said, Please confirm its covered by my insurance and let me know the cost first. Never rely on the doctor or the doctor office staff to verify with your insurance company what is and isnt covered.You need to make the phone call yourself to verify.
