Cost was insane even though in-network
I went to a One Medical NYC location recently for a small skin rash. I liked the doctor a lot - friendly, patient, listened to me; so I have no issue with her. The doctor looked at my rash through one of those lens thing and felt it and determined it was nothing to be concerned about. No tests, no skin scrapings, no lotions, nothing. I have no issue with this because it wasn't necessary - and two days later the rash was all but gone. My issue is with the huge bill I was left with! OM was in-network, so I expected a reasonable charge. Instead, they billed my insurance $740 (!!!!) and of that, I was left to pay $475. Just think about that....$475 for a doctor to look at skin rash. This is insane! I spoke to my Benefits Manager and he did some research and if I'd gone to CityMD (which I'd done in the past), I would've had to pay only about $200. So OM was more than twice as much!! I would strongly advise anyone to go to another one of these types of clinics, like CityMD, because you will likely be shafted with a huge bill for the most minimal thing done.
