I say i know, i reviewed the blood work results online like I always do, you told me last time i could stop taking the medicine so I did. he says, oh, go back on the medicine. Other than take my blood pressure, he does nothing else. No exam, doesnt offer a flu shot (i forgot to ask-oops my bad) doesnt check anything on my body and just stares at his stupid computer screen while i tell him about my shoulder impingement that has been healing on its own and clearly he is not interested in hearing about it....he says, see you in a few months and walks out.

For this service, he bills BC/BS in excess of $300, $190 of which comes out of my pocket in addition to the $25 copay.

I'm pretty sure there are other Drs up there. You should find a different one.
