Re: Stand Alone ER's / Rip Offs or ...?
Plans are starting to impose penalty fees for using standalone ERs. The argument appears to be that you shouldn't be in an ER unless it's life-threatening anyway. If it's that bad, there's a fair chance of getting admitted or needing some service not available at the standalone ER, which means an ambulance trip instead of getting wheeled down the hall.
