The billing amounts are effectively the undiscounted cash price for the procedure, followed by the much lower discounted price negotiated by Medicare and other ins providers. Just let the dust settle, esp if you have Medicare plus a supplementary insurance, because it takes time to process individual cases through two ins cos.[/quote]

I like the let the dust settle advice Pete. That means I can just keep putting it in the binder and only look at it once or twice a month instead of fretting about it more often than that. You are a wise man.
