So DH needs an MRI on his shoulder (most likely will need surgery ), and we proceeded to make some comparison calls today. Our contracted "in network" rate is $800. We called for private pay rates - they ranged from all the way from $415 at the lowest to $1350 at the highest.
Just found the variability in private pay rates quite interesting, as well as the fact that you can find a private pay rate that is cheaper than your in-network contracted rate.
Fun stuff, navigating the insurance maze...
