Joy Jose L MD Facs PA

Okay, so I called Dr. Joy’s office to inquire about seeing him for my back pain that is radiating down my leg. Of course I got the front desk staff. They were totally rude. First, the girl could not understand english. She had to put another person on who bluntly informed me that since I did not have insurance I would have to pay a whooping 450.00 dollars for the consultation. EXCUSE ME? Is this doctor God? Am I being penalized here for NOT having insurance? So you are going to tell me that this 10 dollar an hour front desk girl who can hardly speak english is demanding I pay her doctor 450.00 dollars just to see him? Ummm the answer is no.
Wake up docs, people are waking up to the gouging.
I should know, I’m a doctor myself who takes into consideration the self pay population who can’t afford such inflated fees which are set so high only because insurance will pay a percentage of the fee. However, I would bet you, Dr. Joy never gets the full 450.00 for his initial exam from the contracted insurance companies he works for like AVMED, Coventry and BC/​BS.
