Right, unexpected. /s
They need to publish their prices then. Furthermore, adding to the gifts of obastard care... the insurance carriers are not negotiating or are prohibited from negotiating affordable in network contract rates. This used to be one reason for having insurance... you got better rates than if you paid out of pocket.
NOW, the carriers are incentivized to not negotiate rates at all since their profit margin is a PERCENTAGE of COST. The higher the cost the more money they retain. Pay attention to this people. It is brutal since the cost of procedures within the deductible and the uncovered portion of costs after the deductible BOTH go up. YOU ARE GETTING HAMMERED!
Better study up on shamanistic practices, reiki, acupuncture etc. traditional medical care is about to become a thing of the past except for the elite. Actually some of it won’t be missed but those who need trauma care are going to be in big trouble soon.
