Office fees.

This morning my wife took our two son's to the doctor's for physicals for school. Between the two children there were 5 forms that needed filled out. In all actuality there we really only a couple of places on each form that anyone had to put anything beyond a check mark on. We were quite surprised to find out that the office now charges $5.00 a page to fill out any type of form. It doesn't matter if you need forms for SSDI benefits or a note for school they now charge for this service. I do realize it is a service but it doesn't leave me any less troubled by these charges. Our children are healthy and may only go to the doctor's once or twice a year. It is not as if we are in there constantly needing forms filled out. I can't imagine how someone with several children could afford the cost of co-pays and to have physical forms filled out with the rates being charged by our doctor's office.
