if you’re wondering why doctors don’t do this regularly, they can actually get into trouble with insurance companies if they have a policy of not collecting or forgiving copays.
There have been a few very high profile lab companies that have been prosecuted for this exact practice. TrueHealth was a recent one.
The media coverage will characterize the company as fraudulent.
The whole insurance system is corrupt to the core. Maybe those lab companies weren’t perfect but their real sin was just shining light on the broken system.
