And the techs have to be paid. So, is blood work being skipped or is an alternate anesthesia being used? That's what I'd have to be asking if I was quoted anything below maybe $200-$300 for a cleaning.
This is a really good point...and it makes me think/consider. I mean, where/how is the huge cost savings going to effect the quality of care? Something has to give....and I sure don't want it to be my baby's care. If there are grants/non-prof subsidies, fabulous....but if not, I'd really want to know what is covered - and I'd want to make sure everything was covered that I'd expected (esp. in terms of anesthesia and monitoring etc).
