can a doctor in california charge a credit card fee?
So, for example if my copayment for an office visit is $20, then the doctor cannot charge me more than that for an office visit. However, I went to the doctor recently (in California) and they charged me a $1 surcharge for using their credit card machine. Normally a dollar doesnt seem like a lot but when you need to see doctors/specialists on a regular (often weekly) basis, every penny adds up!
