Can clinics charge the same office visit fee for a NP as they do for an MD?

Every year I see my GYN for my yearly pap, etc. This year they claim she's "out of the office". (They called me one day prior) and asked if I "would mind" seeing their NP instead. Well I do mind, but I agreed because I also have my mammogram scheduled after and I don't want to cancel that appointment. So I asked what the difference in fees were to see a NP rather than the doctor. They said its the same.

Is this ethical?

I am self pay and nothing is going through insurance.

Thank you.

Question about FSA funds and quitting your job

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, I don’t want to ask HR since I don’t want my company to know I’m interviewing for other jobs. I put the maximum FSA amount for 2022 because I know I’m going to have a surgery next year. So I have 3 questions around what can possibly happen with my FSA funds:

If I leave my job in January do I have to find a way to spend the full $2,000+ in January before I leave? Is it possible to carry the funds over to a new job’s insurance? When I leave does it only have the X amount of dollars that are there from my paychecks?

I have no idea how any of this works and the “use it or lose it” aspect of FSA seems messed up (because isn’t it technically my money I earned? it’s $40 or so from every paycheck). I wasn’t anticipating quitting my job when I set up the amount, but two amazing opportunities popped up out of nowhere and I’m trying to plan right now so I’m not panicking in the future.
