I just dug out one of the more bizarre bills- on it we were billed 543.00- because the insurance company had not paid. I contested the way the bill was coded and it was resubmitted- guess how much the write down was? It was the biggest one I've ever seen. The insurance ended up paying 75.00. Now tell me, how do you have the giant greedy balls to send a claim out to Mr. And Mrs. Smith- not knowing whether or not they have any money to pay (and threatening their credit rating) and billing them for the full amount, when an insurance company would pay a pittance. I don't know ANYONE who gets a cash price as cheap as the insurers get- when they actually pay. What I wonder, is how many people are too stupid to contest this stuff, and just roll over the first, second or third time their claim is denied for spurious reasons. That's the kind of data that is hard to find. But every time I have discussed this with people everyone has a million false denial stories. And some of them end rather badly.
