Shoulder surgery cost...bananas.
Another one who doesn’t understand how medical billing works.
I mean does any normal person? I get that will be negotiated down between the ins company and the Dr/surgery center but the fact it even starts that high is ridiculous.

What is the purpose of the insane bill sent to the insurance company? Just a game to see what they will/won't pay? Padding the bill to get more money out of insurance?

Explain it so I can understand. I deal with health care providers all the time and, so far as I can tell, there are at least a half dozen separate sets of books: uninsured; insured but out of network; insured and in network; state comp rate; Medicare; Medicaid; and, for all we know, other setoffs and negotiated rates.
In other words, it's all bullshite.

People that do medical billing don’t understand medical billing

Why does a hospital charge $30 per Tylenol extra strength without even telling you how much its going to cost when someone can go get a bottle of 100 for about $12? They make $2988 on a bottle of Tylenol (that's not including the fact they probably get it at wholesale prices)

To be fair, no one knows how medical billing works

It doesn't, that's the problem. Only ones making money are the insurance companies while everyone else gets screwed.
