There is a huge difference between the price charged to an insurance company and the already agreed upon allowable amount they will pay. Almost all insurance companies make these allowable amounts available to providers; and it is very rare for a provider to bill the allowable amount. In my experience they usually bill double. I find any article that doesn't mention the word "allowable" completely disingenuous.
