A while back I was at the doctor, by mistake they it billed to me directly for cash payment instead of my insurance.When I saw that total and also what was billed to my insurance company I was appalled at the difference. I don’t remember the exact figures but the cash bill was substantially less. I don’t really know how to interpret that except that but in my mind we could definitely have cheaper healthcare if all of the government bureaucracy was gone. iirc, Medicaid reimbursement rate is 40% of billed charge. |
