This almost feels like hospital pricing in the U.S. - where there's the official price that assumes you have insurance, and then the actual price you can negotiate down to if you're paying out of pocket.

- prottog 3y agoTo be fair, dealing with insurance carries a substantial cost in medicine, and it makes sense that there is a discount for sidestepping it. Of course, that doesn't excuse a $0.05 Tylenol pill being upcharged $200 or whatever, but it's not a pure scam.

- joecool1029 3y agoYour logic doesn't even play out in reality. The insurance negotiated rates are lower than out of pocket rates, there's a 'discount' for cash paying but you still pay more for doing them the favor of cutting the insurance companies out of it.
