I wish that insurance could pay for parking. I think its crazy that everytime I go to a dr visit I have to pay $5.00 for a 10min visit and then twice a week I have a stress test and there is a $14.00 parking fee.
I think its crazy!

Parking fees are honestly why I do my ultrasounds and such at a different hospital than the one I'm delivering at (same medical group, different location). You think they'd give you a break and give you a parking pass at a discounted rate.
DH and I have joked that the "VIP Suites" at our delivery hospital might be worth the cost because they include complimentary valet parking. Some parking fees are ridiculous.
I go through the same thing. It got so annoying that I now park on the street almost 3 blocks away so I don't have to pay. Instead I walk and by the time I'm at my appt, my BP is so high, they have to check it again at the end of the appt!
With my son the OB office had free parking until about 2 months before the end and suddenly there were parking meters up. The worst part was that the wait time for an appointment was 1-3 hours so I was paying upwards of $9 for every freaking appointment. Arg. I'm glad my new Dr is quick and I can get away with $1.50 for parking.
I had to pay $6-13 each visit every 2 weeks from the start. The bigger problem was the parking was so bad I had to arrive almost an hour early and drive in circles for 40+ minutes for a spot to open up...most days I'd end up parking over 8 blocks away in a 1hour parking zone and have to hussle to my appointments (which average 3 hours) and stress about the parking tickets.
After a few weeks of that I stopped bothering and started taking the bus. It's cheaper and faster!!

My BFP Chart
TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!
