I even offered to pay up front for the exam, the blood work, and anything else that needs to be done. They still declined. 
Anyone else experience anything similar? Is this standard practice now in the USA? |

They probably fear that if you came in and they found something terminal then your insurance company wouldn't cover it because the procedure was done OUTSIDE of your insurance coverage and maybe they be held liable to finding a way to have your insurance cover it.
Seems a bit retarded by any means
