Usually I see things like the doctor billed the insurance $1000. The insurance paid $300 and said I had to pay $100. The remaining $600 goes unpaid, and the doctor never expected to get it
I see this also. My insurance in 36k a year for a family of 4. I would be better off paying cash than paying for insurance. Currently going to the doctor for the 4 doctor visits cost me 9k per visit plus $5 co pay. Cash would cost me $50-75 per visit.
It’s sometimes the opposite. The insurance companies actually have a lot of input on the price the doctor/hospital is allowed to charge, and I’ve seen it purposefully pushed up or down depending on what tricks the insurance company is trying to use for its balance sheets.
It’s actually the opposite.
My xray was $1000 with insurance, but my co pay was $100.
I asked how much the cash price is without insurance and the xray was $100.
Medical procedures are 90% off of you pay cash.
