[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1924523, member: 43436"] An emergency room is for emergencies. If you or somebody else on your plan really did have an emergency, TC waives the fee; the fee is only assessed to prevent people from habitually using emergencies rooms, given the high cost. Nearly ALL insurance plans penalize people for abusing emergency rooms -- UPS made the change to non-union company plans years ago. This change (re: penalizing those who abuse the ER) would've came to fruition even if we stayed in company plans: visits to the doctor and urgent care cost a hundred bucks or so, visits to the ER cost thousands. You can easily avoid these bills by scheduling appointments with a doctor or visiting an urgent care facility. What other changes have you drowning in debt? [/QUOTE]
