Bingo!
This is how it works. Go to the Doctor for your 20 minutes. The Doctors wants say $80. In order to get this $80 they have to charge the ins co. $260....minus a co-pay, insurance discount, ins payment and then you are left with the rest sometimes....a few bucks. If the doctor charged the ins co $80 to start they would get $20.
NOW THIS IS THE KICKER.......If you walked in off the street paying cash they should charge you $80 but no they will charge you the full price and as Tysdad says YOU ARE PAYING FOR ALL THEY PEOPLE WHO DON'T PAY!!!!! One of my sisters told me this, she works in a medical office.
