So my wife had a UTI, and i knew she needed amoxicillin.
So we went down to the Coursey Urgent care, and found it was now a 'Lake After Hours'...
Well, the visit was 120, and we were told there would be a lab bill arriving later for the urinalysis.
Ok, no problem... He wrote a prescription for amoxicillin, as i knew he would and headed out.
Well, next week we got a bill for the urinalysis... 35 bucks, all god, i was prepared for anything up to 100...
3 weeks later we got another bill... from Our Lady of the Lake... for $221... For the 'Use of their equipment'.
I demanded a itemized letter, and it was sent...
For one person to put 3 drops of urine into a spectro-chromatograph and confirm, yes it is bacterial, they want $221.
I had been going to Coursey Urgent Care for years and had no problems.
I won't be back to Lake After Hours, or Our Lady of the Lake, (which, they will be happy to inform you are not associated, btw...)
Outrageous. $400 to write a 8 dollar prescription for a week of antibiotics.
