We had the same issue - our daughter had strep throat, and we just needed to get an antibiotic perscription while on vacation this June. Instead of a $20 co-pay, I'll probably end up having to spend over $300. The crazy part is they don't know how much it will cost - I had to just leave a credit card number, and they said in a few months they'll know the amount after the hear from the insurance company!

But the staff and doctors were very nice and helpful, and it wasn't too long of a wait.
