It also can go the other way. I was once quoted two prices for a CT scan because they weren't sure if my insurance would cover it. If it did, they'd bill one amount to the insurance company. If they didn't cover it, I would be billed directly for an amount that was somewhere around double what the insurance would have been billed.
I got the CT scan somewhere else.
