I'm not a huge fan of the current state of healthcare in this country, but who is. 
I despise going to see the Dr. but my 4 kiddos spend more than their fair share of time on the exam table. Lately my wife has been taking them to the Target Clinic instead of their pcp for simple things like ear infections, strep, flu, etc. Its faster, more convenient, and surprisingly cheaper.
So today my son went in with a mild fever and a headache. Sounds like a classic ear infection, just waiting to see which antibiotic would be prescribed. Well his fever went away and the doc said it looks to be viral so no antibiotics needed. Prescribed some over the counter stuff and didn't even charge for the visit

) thinks (s)he may have billed for a 'wellnes' visit and you may have no copay for that.
