Midwest Express Clinic

My son hurt his knee in gym. Instead of spending hours in the ER I decided to try Midwest. He was seen by Mike. He was very professional. We were in and out. The entire staff was great. Even received a follow up call. I would definitely recommend this business if you can’t get to you primary care physician.

I checked for reviews before I went here and there were none so hopefully this helps someone else.
This is not a review for the doctor, my issue was resolved. This is an issue for the amount they choose to bill for the visits. I went in on 10/​26/​2015 for a sinus infection and laryngitis (I also had an eye infection but that had already been treated by my eye doctor). They gave me a strep test, which I expected. I also received a flu test (when I asked why they were giving it to me I was told «we do it for everyone» (I did not have flu like symptoms). I walked out with a prescription for a z-​pack and a cough syrup. My symptoms were cleared but at my original appointment I was told I should come back in a week to follow up either way. I did not have my bill yet and showed up to my appointment, the doctor said everything was clear and I could continue to use the cough syrup as needed.
The problem came when I got my bill. I have a high deductible health plan with an HSA card. I have had this for many years and I go to urgent care clinics at least once a year for sickness when I can’t get into my primary doctor soon enough. I am very aware of what I normally pay. Typically for a sinus infection my insurance is billed around $ 120 and my out of pocket is around $ 90. This is what I expected my bill to be (a little more for the strep test). I have also never been asked to come back for a follow up, unless my symptoms do not clear. The bill I received from my first visit was:
Office Visit– $ 361 (189.05 after insurance)
Strep Test– $ 62 (17.14 after insurance)
Flu Test– $ 62 (17.14 after insurance)
Another Flu test– $ 62 (17.14 after insurance)
Oxygen Test– $ 41 (0 after insurance)
Urgent Care Charge– $ 25 (0.50 after insurance)
My total bill before insurance was $ 621, when I called to ask how they could possible charge that much for a visit I was told that is what they have contracted with BCBS. The crazy part is my sister had the exact same symptoms as me a few days later, she went to an urgent care clinic in St. John and her bill before insurance was $ 120 for the office visit and $ 60 for a strep test. I also asked why I was charged twice for a flu test (especially since I didn’t think it was necessary) and was told that they do two test, one for common things and the other for all the «nasty ones».
The bill for my follow up visit:
Office Visit– $ 218 (112.52 after insurance)
Evening Charge– $ 25 (0 after insurance)
Urgent Care Charge– $ 25 (0 after insurance)
That puts my grand total at $ 889 charged to my insurance (I came out of pocket $ 353.49 after insurance). When I called to pay the bill I let them know how upset I was and was told that I could write a letter to corporate. I told them that I would write a review and post it so that no one else makes the mistake I did. I will never use this company again, and I recommend that you do not either. If you wonder why health insurance cost so much, this is why.
