I have been to McLean Imm Care several times, I know it's an $88 just to walk in the door & they don't take insurance (your insur does NOT reimburse you -I've checked with 3 plans & it goes "to your deductible"). In March, my 3 yr old cut the area just to the right of his right eye. The eye wasn't injured but I thought he may need dermabond (I didn't think he needed stitches). I asked if the Dr. could look at it to see if we even needed treatment & if the Dr said no we wouldn't have to wait that whole time. They said there was no wait & took us back about 4 or 5 mins later. Dr. cleaned it up & put ONE layer of dermabond. My son was crying (dermabond stings) so she stopped & said he didn't need another layer. I was w/the Dr. LESS THAN 5 MINUTES! I went to pay & they said $400 ! $400?? I asked her if she was joking be/c I truly believed she was. Then I asked her how could she tell me that w/ a straight face. She said it was considered an "emergency visit." It wasn't an emergency. There was no one there & I wasn't even sure I needed treatment! I said I'm not paying $400 & the manager reduced the bill to $250. $250 is ridiculous! I was so mad I just pd & walked out. I looked at my clock & I had been inside a total of 17 mins!
I know you pay a premium here be/c they don't take insurance and the service is generally pretty quick, but $250 for one swipe of dermabond and a 5 min visit with the Dr. is absolutely absurd.
