Re: Fwd: Making the MDA clinic work for you..Patty

I don't know what MDA Clinic you go to but I have never heard of

them operating this way. There is no co-pay with the MDA Clinics if

you go to the clinic for services. You can't go to the MDA doctor

for a regular office visit as that would be considered a private

appointment and would require your insurance for coverage but clinic

visits are no charge - even if you have a co-pay with the insurance -

at least in every instance I've seen. I've never paid a dime for an

MDA appointment but they are all made thru the MDA Clinic

Coordinator. She sends me a letter to tell me when my next

appointment is.

Here is a little section I found on their website about the subject.

I get very upset when I see these hospitals with paid parking lots.

Are you sure you can't get something stamped because you are an MDA

appointment? I think you should do some inquiring, Arlene. I'm glad

you found the link to be helpful.

Especially since it's based on the amount of time you spend there...and

who has control over whether the doctors are running late?!
