“Almost all insurance companies have agreements ahead of time with MRI places where they can’t charge more than 500.
I’ve never seen a bill higher than that.
They can charge 10k, but insurance will allow 500.
“
Not even remotely true.
agree with you...just had an MRI do to accident using Aetna for my insurance. Had not met my deductible...I was billed $2700 (THAT WAS NEGOTIATED)
Not even remotely true.
Very true - I had a procedure that the hospital billing system claimed $140K for - insurance allowed $41K.
If one has something done and then actually reads the statements, they will know that hospitals and other medical institutions seem to pull high costs out of their arses to ensure they get whatever max the insurance companies will cough up.
