Is it worth the back and forth for a $30 blood pressure monitor?

It’s $100 with tax and I pool in money for fsa and also pay my insurance premiums for this extended coverage. Wondering why it’s so difficult for them to write a prescription. It’s not like I am asking something illegal lol

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
