Just for fun, when you go to your doctor, medical group, or hospital - ask if you can pay cash, and what the price would be.
I have tried it, even for a regular and generic service like an X-ray - no one can tell you.
I went to a clinic for some PT paid cash.
Knew what the cost was for each visit.
At the first one they wanted me to fill out all kinds of paper work.
I said I am paying with hundred dollar bills do you want them or not.
They said You don’t need to fill out the paper work.
I had great care.
What ever happened to the legislation Trump initiated to itemize the true cost of medical procedures?
Not true at my practice. We charge the Medicare allowable rate for cash payers. Which is significantly less than most private insurance payments
The walk in clinics will tell you. But a hospital or one of those medical center places yeah, they won’t tell you. They make it up as they go along.
