I've had 2 kidney biopsies, both of which costed around $4,000. Both times my insurance didn't want to cover it. I had to fight with them for a week both times, and in that time span they kept saying shit like, "Okay we reviewed your case and we will cover X%" and I had to make a dozen phone calls a day and scream at everyone who answered until they finally stopped at 85%. This exact thing happened twice. And it's not like I just have 600 fucking dollars laying around.
It's a game between insurance companies and hospitals to see how little they can pay. And we get shafted for it.
