Medical Ripoff
Had a sprained wrist in February. The doctor gave me a brace. You know the kind with the velcro straps around it.
Got my bill from the doctor today. My insurance paid for everything but my copay, and one other thing: Line item $458.00 for "custom orthosis". There was nothing custom at all about mine. It wasn't fitted or anything. It came out of a box. I found it online. The MSRP is $34.99 Nothing like a little 1300% markup. No way I'm paying for it. My inner honey badger is coming out. I wonder how many "no insurance" patients and lawyers are enjoying the fruits of our labors.
