I was so embarrassed and wanted to cry. I thought I was getting contacts and right before I had the exam she told us to pay for the contacts test. Now that I go to the Dr. without my parents, isn’t is routine to ask for insurance while scheduling an appt or at least before your appointment? We had already gone there, so shouldn’t they have already known that we had Medicaid? I just feel like the lady could have handled it differently.

Do clients treat you in a way that makes you irritable or are you irritable by nature?

I’m a tech for an ophthalmologist, and receptionists can be super hit or miss. They’re either great and love to help patients however they can, or they’re just there to punch in and out while doing as little work as possible. A bad receptionist can kill a good practice faster than a bad doctor can.

I've been taking care of family members for over 10 years now and as an introvert one of the most difficult things has been dealing with health care workers. I was starting to think that there was something wrong with me as many times I felt passive aggressive energy from them. Thanks for clearing it up for me. This video is scarily accurate.

raising the voice at ‘you’re not covered by insurance right now’ so that other people can hear and guilt tripping the patient is so on point

I once went to urgent care to get treated for gonorrhea. The receptionist asked me what I was there for and I said “a gonorrhea shot” very quietly, but I leaned in, and I know she heard me. But she proceeded to announce it to the already packed waiting room and then proceeded to ask me very loudly if I needed to be tested for any other STDs that day. I was so humiliated. I had just found out my boyfriend of 2 years cheated and gave me gonorrhea. I already wanted to die. I say down at the only open seat, the one directly facing the receptionist and sobbed. It was cruel.

They are notorious for violating HIPAA laws by doing this. I have several chronic illnesses and I see my specialists regularly every month so they can evaluate the progress of the diseases. Every single time I go in they ask "why are you here today?" And I'll explain that i have lupus/RA/APS and I'm here to see the DR for evaluation. They always say something stupid like "Well, everyone that comes here has lupus, what is the reason for your visit?" They say it very loudly, enough so their coworkers can hear her "roast" me, just to embarrass me. I hate talking to medical receptionists because they treat sick people like subhumans and they are always so incredibly rude. Without us sick people you would not have a job..i just hate it.

Went to get a blood draw in Oregon. Place was empty and the receptionist was talking to some guy in the back. I walked up and she looked at me and said “you need to wait in line on those circles” (she literally had me stand on a circle, so she could finish her conversation and then call me up) Once she checked me in, I asked where I should sit (there were multiple seating areas for different appointment needs (one area was for xrays, etc): she ignored me. I asked multiple time and she just acted as though I didn’t exist so I just sat wherever. Some people are loathsome creatures.

Maybe she wasnt chatting necessarily, but speaking about something work related? Unfortunately with customer facing jobs, you can develop certain pet peeves, usually rooted in some prior valid frustration that likely has little to do with you at all. Especially with how she ignored you. Im inclined to believe that receptionists like these dont act like assholes because of day-to-day frustrations, but more so because belittling sick patients is the only power they have and it went straight to their heads.

Name the office! I also live in Oregon and would want to avoid this person. I guess I’ve been lucky and only encountered awful people like this a few times in my 65 years. Sitting in the waiting room I saw a mom take her two pre-teens in and they only asked the girl to weigh in. I mentioned it to my beloved (15 years she took care of us) doctor that this is how we start teaching girls their weight matters more than anything and that I hoped they’d make a change. She was open to talking about it. Possibly the brother wasn’t actually there for an appointment and the mom didn’t trust him to behave by himself or he was uncomfortable (I hadn’t considered this when I brought it up). If we see or experiences someone acting like an ass in an office I don’t think it hurts to bring it up to the higher ups. They could be losing business because of this person and have no idea why.
