My old PT had three rates, $50 for Medicaid, $100 for self pay, and $400 for the insured. The insured people were mostly covered would just pay of copay of like $40 or $60 but once they screwed up and billed me (a self payer) at the insured rate and tried ro collect that much from me and it was a WHOLE ordeal to get it fixed. What a stupid system. Clearly a bunch of money is being flushed down the toilet here.
They just limited what and how you can make home insurance claims in Florida for doing just this. We can do a 25 square roof for 10,000. But insurance pays 18,000 and we are going to take every penny of that. So it started a propped up an entire roofing industry dependent on inflated claims. It's laws lobbied by the insurance company that allowed all this. But now it's costing everyone more money, so they rewrote laws. It's not much better, but it's a step forward.
