[quote=Anonymous]Here is an example, I broke my arm, went to ER, got X-ray and brace.  Had follow up with WOSM ortho group, who had just stopped taking my insurance so I had to pay out of network. I bring my X-rays with me, so no radiology required or medical equipment because I already had those.  They charged me $2,000, that is not a typo.  I was like WTF?! They said their new business model is a per injury fee, that $2,000 covers 60 days of office visits related to the injury, and my injury would only require that initial follow and a 6 week recheck, so $2,000 for 2 visits.  Who is nickel and diming who?! I am sorry but that is ridiculous, and I told them that nicely, politely and calmly.  I asked if I paid all the money upfront right then instead of waiting to bill me would they offer and discount, and then said sure, give us $500.  I didn't even have to negotiate, I just asked. so it seems like to me someone is grossly overcharging.  I would like to think all doctors and hospitals charge honest and fair rates but IMHO that is not the case.[/quote]
