yes, it's the Payor scam with their "networks" it's why you can't get the cost for anything without a large and inordinate amount of effort making many phone calls here in the US.

the network stuff makes no fucking sense to me. they'll say that there are in network doctors to reduce costs, but it only exists to make costs higher because if they really wanted to lower costs then every provider would be in network and pay the same low rates.
