FFFC

About 2 months ago a PCP that works in the same building referred one of his employees to see us. The patient called and said they have no health ins and do we have a professional courtesy policy or something like that.. So I talked to the Dr and he agreed that we would see the pt @ a SUPAH discounted rate. He saw the pt twice and the pt paid approx $30 for both visits.. not each, both, combined.

I asked this patient if they did flu shots in the office. They replied yes.

I called today to find out if they still had any, this patient happened to answer the phone, so they knew who I am. ... they say yes they still have them, i said I'm not a patient there but would they still do it.. She asks someone, and tells me no.

So, how about that professional courtesy, huh? I told my Dr, he thought it was ridiculous as well. I didn't want it for free, I would glady pay for (well, the Dr will pay for it).. but it's much easier for me to walk across the hall then to go sit at walgreens, or wherever and wait.

Re: FFFC

  • I got my flu shot on Wednesday.  According to my doc (I saw her today), I'm just having a bad local reaction to the vaccine.  My arm hurts sooooo bad.  The muscle aches when I move and anytime anything (including clothes/bedding) brushes up against it, I wince.  I cried Thursday a.m. when I had to put my deodorant on.  Last night, H had to help me pull my shirt off.  I was in so much pain he just cut it off.  Today is better, but this needs to resolve itself asap.  My baby is a hugger and I hate being in pain when I'm getting such sweet baby love.

  • H's company pays for our flu shot and I have not gotten one. I'm not sure if I want to or not. It is free for us but I'm not a fan of shots!
  • I got the flu shot last year, and then proceeded to get the flu and was sick for like 3 weeks. I don't think I am going to bother this year.

  • I was nervous about getting the flu shot for the first time this year but so far, so good!  I have a cold, but I don't think that counts.
