That sounds outrageous.  Gail recently had an MRI to help diagnose a
bone chip in her elbow.  The amount billed was $1778, but the bill was
knocked down to 443.64, as per agreement with Medicare.  Medicare paid
80% and our secondary coverage paid the rest. We paid nothing.  Sorry to
hear about what your insurance is doing to you.

I've seen similar things on other bills in the past, e.g. procedures
billed at $3000 knocked down to a few hundred $, again with us paying
nothing.
