A new stick on monitor compared to the old carry heart monitor is out but....Call to charge me more 1000$ in order to get my own results( which i told the marketer that my Cardiologist has the results why should i pay...she said you are right but...I can put you on a payment plan.NO!) I will not pay anything seeing my insurance has paid, the 200 plus of what the cost would NORMALLY BE....so the marketer said, how about if you pay 900, until she got down to the 300, which, had been paid..period.So today i receive a bill for the 1,000.Scam?You do receive results from your doc free of charge, its in your chart, to see anytime.Before you INVEST....check it out...why would the company go from trying to get a max of 1000$ down to the su=omewhat? price of 200 plus....medical things add up and if i can save one person from anything like this i will.Thank you. Any testing needs looked at.

Interesting jackiesj Your post showed up on my Health Unlocked feed. Good information though. My doctor's medical group is really cool, you are notified when your tests are in and you can sign in, read the results and print if you would like. Never pay extra for what's already in your file. I don't have my GP Check up appt until next Friday, but already know that my cholesterol jumped 20 points and I am .05 points from being a "Pre-Diabetic. Not my first time and I wonder if it's because I'm not exercising as much. I've lost 21 pounds this year.. oh well, back to eating more healthy and back to the gym..

I just hope you are okay. It's so difficult to have MS and then have to deal with all the issues physically and mentally that life throws at us!
