Here's a nice example of overcharging . . .

I have a genetic issue called Alpha 1 Antitrypsin deficiency. It keeps the liver from producing the enzymes that protect the lungs and liver from diseases. Kinda like an immunity boost. To remedy this, I get an infusion once a week of the enzymes that are taken from human blood plasma.

According to my insurance company: (I work for a hospital system, we are self insured).

The weekly cost for this is $25000.00. Yes, that is thousand. Billed from Glassia
The discounted cost for this is $21900.00. Discounted by Glassia
Actual billed cost to insurance is $3100.

So my average monthly cost of this would be $12400. per month, lucky that I am insured as it is costing me nothing.
