Bills for tests. I just had a test the lab charges 149 for the test. Medicare pays the full bill,
no copay, while I do have supplemental coverage they do not charge anything to them.
Medicare paid 18.50 covering the entire bill. WE TRUST THIS SYSTEM WITH OUR LIFE, OUR HEALTH-HUH.
It is very typical for all medical labs to grossly overcharge for any kind of test, and then accept whatever amount the insurance company will pay.
