Be Well Primary Care

The doctor I saw is basically a pharma trained physician. They bill insurance exorbitant amounts and like I said are more concerned about revenue than people.

The first thing the front desk person told me was my appointment would be $200+ to $300+ depending on what is discussed. I was confused as my insurance has a $0 co pay for annual visits and preventive care. She went on talking about my deductible hadn’t been met. I stated again I was only there for the one thing and isn’t that covered. She said yes but it depends on how the provider codes the appointment. And if it’s a level three it’s this much a level 4 it’s this much. I asked again isn’t the yearly check up 0, she said yes but it’s up to the provider to code it.

It’s unfortunate that none of the practitioners there in Azle actually have authority to treat their patients. There is a set of medical protocols that direct treatment from some unknown entity above the on site staff.
