New question, does it matter if i stay in network or not when i have a high deductible plan and likey would have to pay the full cost of the visit anyhow?

[NikLR 13,227]

I ask because the in network urgent care seems sketchy but there is one that isnt that seems pretty good.

[SAT 9,609]

I can't answer that without seeing the plan.

For us if it's out of network they won't negotiate the price to what they would pay if you met your deductible.

So in network they tell them how much they can bill us, even though we pay. Out of network the place can charge a crazy amount and the insurance won't say hey you can only charge this amount.

Niki, if you don't have a fever, go to a doctor tomorrow.

If you have a fever, go to urgent care now.

Niki, if you don't have a fever, go to a doctor tomorrow.

If you have a fever, go to urgent care now.

She doesn't have a doctor.

She could look at those CVS drugstores for a minute clinic. Some of them work like a walk in clinic. If you have walmart there check to see if they have a clinic.

[SAT 9,609]

She can find a doctor tomorrow. She's in a major city. Plenty doctors.

[NikLR 13,227]

No fever.

[Ontarkie 14,233]

Grab yourself some chloraseptic spray to numb your throat for now.

[SAT 9,609]

And sucrets. Or some a those Walgreens lozenges.

No fever.

No fever= no worries.

But, is there no fever because you're popping Tylenol?

[SAT 9,609]

Grab yourself some chloraseptic spray to numb your throat for now.

And what, may I ask, are you doing over here?

Whadaya think the hillbilly is just gonna get up and feed himself?

[NikLR 13,227]

Maybe

99.4 not that bad.

[SAT 9,609]

Ok, 99.4 after taking Tylenol means you'd be at like 102 if it wasn't for the Tylenol.

Is it 1 tonsil or both?

1 is good. 2, something other than tonsillitis is causing them to flare. Like a virus. Abx won't help.

Tamiflu may help...
