I suggest that you do a web search for 'chargemaster rates'
and read up on it. Here's a web link for a start:

What, no comments? No one learned anything about
how much we are getting ripped off by the 'system'?

No surprise to hear about Surprise Billing...if you didn't say okay, then
don't pay...if you had coverage, then tell them to have a nice day...that's
why I stopped going to doctors and hospitals last century. I didn't pay a
Surprise Bill and they threatened collection after collection. It turned out
to be nothing but fear tactics preying upon suckers. They knew they couldn't
beat my receipt and eventually scampered away. Traitors of humanity and only
deserving their own "medicine".

Waiting an hour after my appointment to see the King or Queen of the Universe,
paying in cash on my departure just to still receive a bill followed by nasty
reminders and "Specialists" being nothing but dimwit hacks was all enough for
me to quit the quacks and their ghoulish and abominable industry that kills at
least 750,000 people a year...FACTUALLY, just the hospitals and "doctors" are
the 3rd leading CAUSE of death.
