I've been trying - unsuccessfully - to find a new internist MD. Contacted
one and found he charges $100 a month - just to be his patient! Not covered
by insurance including Medicare. Medical services charges extra. Anyone
else know of this expense? I suspect it will become popular - if enough DRs
do it you'll have no choice.

Sorry, I've never heard of that practice. I'd be contacting my local AMA
association to see if this is legal.
