A snippet from a recent insurance claim for a single lab test:
Amount billed to insurance: $149.50
Amount allowed by insurance: $22.18
Amount paid by insurance: $22.18
Amount paid by me: $0.00
$149.50?! Really, Obnoxious Overcharging Lab Company?! It seems a bit ridiculous that $22.18 is an acceptable rate for insurance clients, but self-pay clients would pay SIX AND A HALF TIMES THAT.
This tumblr is not for health care debates. This tumblr is for poop jokes and pictures of my cats. Nonetheless, I had to post this to highlight the UTTER RICOCULOUSNESS OF OUR STUPID INSURANCE SYSTEM.
