A member asked:
If i had ingrown toenail surgically removed, do i need to repay the podiatrist to have it fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some basics: The cost/payment practices of various providers varies with the issues involved, type of procedure and local custom. Some providers & insurers look at such issues as a package deal where the procedure and regular followup are all covered by a single payment. Some do not and consider separate visits/consumption of provider time & expertise as a separate billable event. This is a local issue.
