<<I have an uncle who has no insurance but pays cash for his care. He negotiated with the Dr on his shoulder surgery and the guy knocked about 30% of the normal bill. It's probably worth that or more to get your money right away and not have to deal with the insurance companies.>>

That 30% off is probably what the dr. would have settled for if the insurance company was paying. ie. say the operation costs $10,000, if insurance is covering it the dr. charges them $7,000 and the $3,000 is listed on the bill as PP or preferred provider.
