,

I went to the doctor recently.

Nothing worrisome, just my annual physical. I’m ridiculously healthy for my age and though I have a bad knee, bunions and the normal aches and pains associated with reaching my sixth decade… there were thankfully no major issues to discuss.

I don’t have diabetes, or high cholesterol or any other ailments that require medication so my annual wellness check is usually a quick in and out with a stamp of good health.

We have excellent insurance due to my husband’s military service and my visit is always completely covered.

Free.

Until the other day when I received this bill.

.

.

It showed a $25 balance and while that certainly wasn’t a problem…. it was different, and made me wonder what had changed.

Not being able to decipher the coded language on the bill, I did some research.

Turns out I’m too healthy.

.

.

I’m being penalized because I’m healthy?

The doctor didn’t have to make any medical decisions.

So they charge me more?

What the utter hell is that about!

😡
