This is more of a problem than some people realize. If you ask for the cost of a medical procedure they don't want to come up with a figure. It just happened to me. If it is covered by insurance it seems the bill is astronomical and the facilities/doctors agree to accept 20%-50% of stated cost. How ridiculous is this? So it costs you $10,000 if you pay it or only $3500 if they get paid by insurance.
So there is overbilling of those able to pay to account for those who can't pay. I say pay the doctor and let the rest go into collections. If you have a good credit rating otherwise these bills will not affect it much anyway.
This advise is worth what it cost you.
