I've had uninsured hospital visits and when I called to pay they were shocked and surprised. I think they jack up the price so they can write it down because they don't expect to get paid.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoNo. The price is jacked up because insurance companies negotiate down, so providers have to price anchor high in order to receive payment at a sustainable level. They can't offer you a cash rate without hell from insurance companies, so you encounter the uninsured negotiation dance.
- sosuke 10y agoThey should just do the transparency shift and say everyone pays X and there is zero wiggle room.
