I've encountered this: This treatment is $10,000 if you pay out of pocket, but we'll charge your insurance company $680 for it.

The issue here is that the bigger insurance companies literally set the prices for services and drugs.

You wanna keep doing business with United, you charge them what they're willing to pay, otherwise they'll just reject claims or put you out of network altogether.

It's FUBAR.
