There is an insurance price and a non insurance price. The medical profession is now a big gimmick. And it's not just doctors....hospitals also. It's time to make a deal....I'll take the non insurance price then I want to file a claim on my insurance and pay nothing. Of course, that won't work but at least we can negotiate. When you see your insurance claim invoice for $14,000 get whittled down to $600 just so the doctor can get the amount he thinks he's due. Can't blame them for that. You have to escalate the price so that by the time everyone gets paid they get what they want. And sometimes the difference between the insurance price and the non insurance price is substantial. Everyone is in on it...it's just a big hood wink.
