They charge the insurance company the $175, the insurance company will only pay them $50 and they will drop the rest of the charge.
And apparently we're supposed to just accept this as normal business behavior.
Try getting a straight answer about what something will cost from a doctor or nurse. shite is laughable.

I'd rather them know how to treat me or a family member than have a running list of what their hospital charges. In my experience with high dollar tests and treatments they act cautiously because they know things like MRI's and CT's are expensive.
And for all they know you've met an out of pocket cap or certain things are out of network. It's a bunch of pieces that I wouldn't hold one person to having all the knowledge of- that's a whole other department.

Let’s try this at a car dealership next.
We will sell you the latest and greatest for 50k, but because we like you and you drive our products we will let you have it for 25k.
But that is cash, if you want to finance that with us we just may have to charge you the full sticker.
Oh wait car dealers are already doing this.
