I got a bill from an anesthesia service for a whopping $3309.
A rediculously stiff price for giving me one shot, but what confuses me is that the bill says regardless of what my plan says I need to copay, I really only have to pay them $20.
My insurance is an 80/20 PP indemnity [sp?] plan, so I would owe them about $660 assuming my insurance is not in a network with the provider. If my insurance company is in a network plan with them then the insurance company would probably just say $100 is the agreed upon network rate and I would still owe them $20.
What kind of game is going on here? What would I have to pay if I was not insured at all? $100 or $3309.
