It's very expensive, often, to have "private" pdocs.

I'd paid about the same for mine this year, out-of-pocket, about $4,000.00 so far this year. I have a high deductible. My pdoc takes insurance.

It's extremely expensive for families in need of multiple providers.

My pdoc had pointed out that she works a lot more than an hour for her hourly fee. I agree. pdocs often put in a lot of unpaid hours. I know she does!

I do not know how people are expected to afford care. It's both frustrating and scary!

Great topic!
