I have a question about health insurance

送交者: HunHunSheng 于 2006-09-05, 13:59:46:

Doctor submitted amount and final negotiated amount insurance compaies pay are SO different and quite often
the later is only one tenth of the original.

How come there is such big gap? If I do not
have insurance, will I get billed for later amount or former ammount?
