I switched to a cheaper insurance plan this year. Not gonna bore with the details but I think I was doing the math wrong previous years and looking at the price of brand prescriptions instead of generic and it messed up my spreadsheets. Anyways, in the past copays have been pretty cheap for urgent care. I had testicle pain recently and went because I was worried it was torsion and there's only so many times I can read "if you don't get it fixed with 12 hours there's 50% chance to lose it" or whatever lol. It ended up being a UTI I think. But they had me come in for a follow-up. The follow-up was the same price as the initial visit just for them to basically say "yeah, you're fine if nothing else happened". That cost me ~$150. It's just infuriating. Like, I sort of get it, but it would've been so much better if they just told me only to come back if symptoms don't improve or ultrasound results showed something fishy.
