A similar situation in local political health care plans. I did medical billing. Our local govt agency (this was for medicaid level care) required that they only pay 25% of the price of the service. When 90% of your patients are on medicaid, you raise the price so that 25% of price is now what price should be.
But very funny when someone comes in and wants to pay cash. While that would be SO much easier than dealing with the agency - you got to charge them 4x so some politician and HN posters can go on about how much money the govt "saves".
I just wish prices (cash paid) had to be posted publicly.
- hinkley 6y agoI got a very nice discount on some dental work that was considered 'cosmetic' and not covered by my shitty dental insurance who thought amalgams were just fine for molars. They were going to pay like 25% or something silly like that. So we went sliding scale uninsured, and despite being in the top end of the scale, I ended up paying about 1/3 less than I would have through insurance. I probably still ended up subsidizing some kid who needed fillings worse than I did, which was the only silver lining in that whole stupid affair.
