Can a doctor charge for two office visits at one appointment and make you pay 2 copays?
On the face of it, this does not sound correct. Sure they can bill you, doesn't mean that they will get paid. I would ask for an itemized bill for the (2) charges and an explanation in writing. Also let your insurance carrier know of what occurred. The doctors will more likely pay attention to the carrier as that is where the real money is coming from. Example: I went to my doctor for a cough. He checked my ears and told me that I needed to come again to get extra wax out of my ears. I did not understand why he would not do it in the first visit. He would not have been paid for getting the wax out if he had done it on my first visit. Not to mention, I stopped seeing the doctor. Making money is good but doing it at the expense of one's health is immoral. Generally, they will bill seperately for the office visit and bill also for the doctor diagnosis. I was billed a few times like this when my wife was getting ultrasounds at a hospital. Once for the reading and once for the visit.

What do you do first when you want to see your doctor?
Most doctors see people by appointment, so the first thing to do is to phone the office and make an appointment to see the doctor. In the event that your particular doctor does not require appointments, then just go to the office during regular office hours (make sure you know the schedule!) and show up.

If something was wrong with your lab results would dr inform you before appointment?
Typically, if there is a significant issue with your lab results that require immediate attention, the doctor's office would reach out to you to schedule an earlier appointment or provide guidance on next steps. Otherwise, the doctor would usually discuss any concerning results during your scheduled appointment. If you are worried about your results, feel free to contact the office to inquire about them.
Is there a clause in your paper work that allows a doctor office to bill for missed appointment?
If you are charged for a missed appointment, then there was a clause in the paper work allowing the doctor to bill you. If you feel otherwise, then you can always ask the doctor for the clause and where it is stated in the paper work. This usually only applies to Private Practices rather than Hospitals.
