Recently took my 15mo to urgent care bc she obviously had an ear infection and it was Friday evening, bc of course it was. They tested for the flu and billed $500 for that nose swab. We were responsible for $258. Called about it like, those tests cost $20 at Walgreens? “Well that’s our price, your insurance approved it”
“Insurance paid less than half of it, they can approve gouging me?”
“That’s the price”
“What’s the price if we are uninsured and pay cash?”
“Prices change.”
“Ok then bill me that”
“We can’t if you’re insured.”
Madness. Imagine going to a restaurant, ordering a coffee, drinking it, getting the bill for $500 and being told you’ll be sued if you don’t pay it. And you have zero recourse. Thanks Obama

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.
