Then that's the one example in the world you got there. I went to an eye doctor got a full exam paid $150 cash. He was also my Dads doctor and my father said to me what did he charge you. I told him and he said the health ins company he worked for paid that doctor $35 for the same exam.

My wife went to the foot dr ,we were paying cash again and it was a fuck job. Like charging her $77 as a visit just to pick up the custom orthotics she ordered. No way in hell the ins company would of gave him $77.
