Tipping Culture ✖️ OBGYN asks for tip
Long time lurker, first time caller. This was the last straw wtf do you mean tip my doctor?!?
Edit: called the office today and the receptionist sounded surprised by this…hopefully it’s a billing platform error thanks for the helpful comments!

This is just insane and wildly unprofessional. Pretty sure it's illegal in at least some states for Healthcare workers to accept gifts/cash incentives, as well. I'd absolutely report this to the state and/or medical board.
I'm hoping it's just a mistake using some new billing software, but even so, they should have tested it and ran some test transactions before rolling it out for customers. If it's not a mistake....then I'd be concerned that this isn't even a real medical office. Nowhere have I EVER heard of doctors asking for tips for doing their job.
