Are Doctor Follow Ups Free?

About 2 weeks ago I went to the eye doctor and he prescribed some eye drops for red eyes I've been having. I am uninsured so my visit was $75. I paid and as I expected they setup a follow up visit. I went to the follow up visit today and when I was done at the front desk they told me it would be another $75. I told them it was a follow up to my last visit and they said yes it would still be another $75. I told them I've never paid for a follow up before and the lady gave me attitude and said "well I don't know where you go but everyone charges for follow ups". In the end they waived the fee.

Were they trying to rip me off? I've never paid for a follow up before.
