Earlier today, I sent my fiance to the PowellMinor ER Clinic on Clinton Hwy because he had a terrible sore throat. Upon arriving, he was instructed to leave his driver's license at the desk until the appt. was over. After the exam, he was charged $85.00, with no explanation why it cost more than the normal charge. He was told to pay in cash or debit and the receipt was a hand-written one from a receipt book you could but at Wal-Mart. In order to get his prescription needed, he was then told that if he didn't purchase the medication from the clinic itself - there would be an additional charge to take the written prescription to an actual pharmacy. When he told me this, I asked what the cost of the prescriptions (an antibiotic & a steroid) were...I was told that the information could not be given to me. The doctor explained to my fiance that one would be approx. $65 and the other approx. $55. When my fiance went back to purchase the medication, he was charged $171. I'm no mathmetician - but there is quite a profit in there for the clininc. When he asked for an itemized receipt for both prescriptions - the doctor refused to give out the information. At this point, we have no idea what the exam costs were for OR how much the 2 prescriptions ACTUALLY cost, but because we have no health insurance...it appears that we are at the mercy of thieves like this. I am telling everyone I know about this scam and I warn anyone who reads this to aviod this particular clinic at all costs!
