[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 299625, member: 7083"] Donna, to answer your question, no your insurance company did not pay $6,000. Insurance companies have contracted rates with providers. The provider agrees to accept what the insurance pays. When I had the heart attack, the hospital bill alone was $175,000+ (doesn't count the cardiologist, etc). The insurance company paid around $100,000. I had a $2,000 deductible. I couldn't have replaced the transmission in my car for what the insurance company paid the cardiologist who did the angioplasty that took 2.5 hours and 4 stents. In fact, they paid the medic company that transported me (no lights or sirens) from one hospital to the other more than they paid for my angioplasty. How disgusting is that? [/QUOTE]
