     @gettingcomputey it’s important to note that the provider charged that amount. The subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare paid in full. Source: https://www.propublica.org/article/a-doctor-went-to-his-own-employer-for-a-covid-19-antibody-test-it-cost-10-984

     This is just to highlight that the entire system is forked. United is the poster child of the endemic corruption perpetrated by pharma, legal, finance, and government.

     Propublica does amazing work. If you are outraged by the US healthcare system, consider supporting the last bastion of investigative journalism:
