Maybe you can, but I doubt the Doctor knows what the charges are, and you would need to talk to who ever does the billing.
The point here is that if there is room for the insurance companies to negotiate a lower payment,and the doctor and hospital still make a profit, then why isn't that the set rate they charge for everyone nonetheless.
If we had a set rate medical system, it would bring the cost of healthcare down for everyone, and it could also bring down the cost of insurance.
