The urgent care I went to ripped me off, wat do?

Suspected I had covid and went to a local urgent care to get tested and see a doc.

The service was really good. Got my test done, saw the doc, and left happy about the experience.

Today I received an email from them to fill out a customer satisfaction survey. In the survey I noticed it wasn't a doctor that I saw, it was a freaking PA! wtf? If I had some make believe illness I'd have no issue seeing a make believe doctor, but this is serious stuff!

I'm pissed! I feel I got ripped off by not getting to see a doctor. Can I cancel my insurance payment to them?

Are you joking? The only way Urgent Care's can stay in business is by maxing out the MD supervision of PA's. You go to Take Care at Walgreens? You are seeing a Nurse Practitioner.

Some insurance plans do pay less if it's a PA that sees you, so if you are paying out your deductible you may have already received a price break.


I used to work with a doctor who bragged that he had been instrumental in the State of Illinois allowing up to 4 PA's to be supervised per doctor. I asked him how many he was comfortable supervising, and he said 2, lol.
