I had to have 6 blood tests after one of my OBGYN appts. They had a price book and they had price for insurance and price for cash. It was going to cost over $500 if we had insurance.... but we were paying cash.... it cost us $140. What a difference.
Oh yeah....everybody loves insurance companies....lol.
I think the doctors do that here to.
But everyone I know who deals with insurance companies always charge them a higher price. And so do I.....if I do building work or consultancy reports for them, the price is DOUBLE what I would charge a householder.
And I think the insurance companies are very aware of that....after all....by their very own admittance (I know many underwriters).....they charge out their premiums to make HUGE profits.
