my exact curiosity. They seem to have a rough scope on CPT codes ahead of time, with some buffer. It's baffling that the cost per CPT changes between estimate and billing. Id like to talk to a billing administrator to ask how that process works. Does the admin pad the doctor's figures with additional codes and markup?
