[QUOTE="traveler, post: 91638, member: 1954"] ja4079, First, is that the doctors charge or the doctor plus the facility cost? Where I live it is generally $1,000 for the doc plus $1,000 for the facility. Usually, both numbers are negotiable. Tell the doctor that you have no insurance for this procedure and ask what he would charge you directly. (Ask the facility too if that's a separate charge. Most doctors I've dealt with will give you either a price that insurance would [I][U]actually pay[/U][/I] or the [U][I]Medicare reimbursement amount[/I][/U]. By the way, they are not allowed to charge you less that Medicare if they accept any Medicare payments! [B]Your friendly and helpful government at work here!!! [/B] [/QUOTE]
