Well as a dumb tourist I guess I'm going to get ripped off. here are the options I've been given.
1. Private VIP doctor visit me in my hotel $250 today
2. Hospital appointment in 3 days...don't know what the cost would be
3. Private clinic $240 tomorrow morning.
4 Emergency room visit which my insurance tells me they MAY cover $2,500 dollar price. I must pay upfront.
Well I guess if I know more I could find a clinic like the poster is mentioning but it seems to me I might as well have the doctor visit my room pay him the $250 and be done with this today. Let him prescribe whatever he prescribes. I don't want to wait days for the hospital and what is the difference between $240 or $250 between options 1 and 3.
This is no emergency, but I want to get it handled so I don't have this unsightly rash that is not going to heal itself.
