To you, OP, and anyone: watch out for a “facility fee” at Perlman, which applies if the practice you’re visiting is considered to be a separate entity from the hospital itself but is located within its walls. I got charged $1200 for a routine ENT appointment and actually had to pay it. I needed to go to a doctor that didn’t take my insurance and planned to pay what wasn’t covered for an out of network doc, but never saw that type of bullshit coming. I’ll never go back to that building if I can help it.

This applies to other hospitals that host outside practices too, for the record, but Perlman fucked me personally.

Damn, sorry to hear that. Were you able to negotiate it down at all? I couldn’t believe how unwilling they were to budge.

Yeah luckily it was subject to OOP max. If you’re underinsured or uninsured I wouldn’t go there.
