If the underlying problem (in-network discounted rates for services and out of network excess that the service provider can charge - honestly this practice should be made criminal - imagine Sams club selling a computer to non-members for 10x the cost the members pay) is not addressed, the surprise bill just becomes someone elses prolem (other patients end up paying).
- xyzzyz 6y ago> imagine Sams club selling a computer to non-members for 10x the cost the members pay I wouldn’t mind that actually. They can sell for 100x for all I care. I can just not buy it. A better analogy would be if you got a letter 2 months after you shopping visit telling you that the the package of cheese you bought is actually $2000 instead of $5, and no, they do not accept returns.
