So insurance wouldn’t cover it because it wasn’t necessary in their eyes?
59 u/Criminoboy Aug 22 '26 No. They were going to 'cover' it but there was 20% co pay. In the US, they'll charge you thousands per month for insurance, but will still make you pay for part of your care. 50 u/bwrca Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26 This copay thing is the craziest thing I've ever heard of. Edit: copay, deductible, max out of pocket? WTh is all that 12 u/lastberserker Aug 22 '26 It's the whole bill, after negotiations, the insurance doesn't pay a dime. 1 u/Workman44 Aug 22 '26 Yeah health insurance is effectively just a negotiator between you and the provider
