If you pay cash (IE don't have insurance) you should be able to get the cheaper price. Just let them know that you don't have insurance but can pay and they will give you the real price and not the fake one that they use with the insurance companies.

Same thing goes for stuff not covered by your insurance. After the expense is rejected by your insurance company go back to the doctor and renegotiate to get the real price or you will be paying 40+% more as you said then your insurance would have paid if it was covered.

I have catastrophic insurance only and have had to deal with this as lots of stuff is not covered. It is a pain, but it can be done.
