I went to a podiatrist a few months ago for an infected toenail which caused my toe to break out in blisters. He clipped a piece of toenail for a lab and gave me an antibiotic and said he would take the nail off on the next visit. That's all he did. The next visit he gave me shots and removed the nail. (it was painful-don't let anybody kid you). When saw recently the claims status for BC/BS, he had billed for two surgeries! I called my insurance co. and they said well they consider the first visit a surgery (the Dr.). WTH!
