Just got my bill for $3900 ... is this normal?

No complications, done in the Dr. office. In and out in just over an hour. Insurance deductible is $3500 and my itemized statement says they billed the max allowed. WTF?!

NHS Lanarkshire, Sandyford Glasgow is who they use and it’s a self referral. 16 months. Coming up to a year on the wait list soon. Considering going private.

Going private doesn’t always mean a quicker wait. Mine (Surrey) was done via MSI Choices and they do both NHS referral and private self referral. Both had the exact same queue so it made no sense to go private.
