Insurance responded to my inquiry. They stand by the charges and don't see anything wrong with the cost. The checkup I get is a routine visit for my ear (need to go in for regular follow-ups for the rest of my life due to two surgeries I had when I was a kid). It used to cost just $70-$150 cash depending on how much time I spent there. It skyrocketed in cost starting 4-5 years ago, though.

The insurance was billed around $650 for the debridement part of the check-up and the rest was the office charge. My out of pocket is $263. That's more expensive than before I had health insurance, when I paid with just cash.
