Her Doctor’s Office Moved One Floor Up. Her Bill Was 10 Times Higher.

Kyunghee Lee, a 72-year-old retiree and freelance seamstress, goes to see a rheumatologist about once a year for steroid injections to tread arthritis in her hands. Her cost for each round of shots has been roughly $30 the past few years. When she went in for her usual shots last summer, she noticed her doctor’s office had moved up a floor in the medical building, but everything else seemed just the same as before — same injections, same doctor. Then the bill came. (KHN, NPR)
