I paid the bill on the spot, I expect to pay when I go . I have not paid a dime for any health insurance for over 20 years, so I have no right to cry about the occasional medical bill when needed.
My past experience is that you usually get a reduced rate when you are self paying. I have gone in for other stuff in the past, and they have taken care of me fairly, and usually offer discounts if you pay on the spot instead of making them chase you. I don't expect any handouts either. $585 is far better than the metal in me eye. I would not have been able to work. They were super busy, should I call and see if that is the going rate for self pay vs whackin' the insurance companies?
