My previous MD used to charge $120 for the exam and the form.  I used a walk-in clinic for a few years; they charged $40 (I think - it might have been $25).  This year I have new MD who billed me $170 for the exam and the form.

a) what are other's paying to have their medical form signed?
b) anyone out there familiar with the MSP billing process who can explain what options MDs have with respect to billing?

Thanks,
Rod.

I have no reason to suspect he would be double dipping.  I don't even think that $170 is an unreasonable price to pay an MD for this exam.  If there is no medical justification then MSP probably doesn't cover any of it.  Which is why I'm kind of curious as to how many racers are paying a "form" fee vs a "medical exam" fee.

I'm very likely his only patient that requires this form.  I'm just wondering what sort of justification is required to reduce the fee to a paperwork charge instead of a fee for medical exam; and if there are any in-between options.

Any Racing MD's willing to chime in?

Thanks,
Rod.

Dr.s in BC  can charge whatever they want for filling out forms.  Based on the relationship with your Dr. , YOU MAY GET A DEAL or You may pay a lot!!!!!
