I usually just offer 60% to 50% after the insurance rejects it so I still might be paying to much, but that seems about right from what I have seen on insurance claim paperwork. You could really put the squeeze on a doc if you wanted because after the claim is rejected by the insurance, they have no idea if you can pay and they are generally not efficient when it comes to collecting. IE Most are very happy with 50% at this point as there are so many dead beats. I suppose to do it right you have to research and find out how much it cost a doctor to perform a certain procedure and then add in some profit for him. It would be nice to have a blue book/black book like what they have for cars. The insurance companies must have this information. I wonder where they get it from? I smell a business opportunity.
