It is absolutely insane what insurance companies will actually pay for - mine was fulling willing to pay $1250 for a simple ultrasound procedure at a hospital facility vs $150 at a specialty clinic. I made the smart decision to have it done at the clinic but it isn't like I'm going to be rewarded for that decision by paying lower premiums.
- moneywoes 4y agoHow do find these prices
- alyandon 4y agoThe hard way - I looked up the average price for the procedure and pestered them for up front pricing. When they told me what they were going to charge I walked out of the facility without another word and went to the local clinic. I also let my doctor know that I was extremely displeased about his referral to that facility when there were cheaper alternatives.
- AdrianB1 4y agoThe insurance companies have huge discounts, even 90% for many procedures. The price list is usually for uninsured people, not what is ever paid by insurance.
- alyandon 4y agoIn my case - $1250 would have been the contract/discounted price to the insurance company. List price was almost 2x that amount.
