Crazy, that's the price you would have paid at Minute Clinic without insurance.

Yep. I don't mind paying the $116, but the disparity in pricing is so ridiculous. It's like throwing darts at a board and saying "Pay us this much"

Which is why my first response to almost any medical invoice, is "Would you take ["total"]*0.5 to settle the bill?"

From what I've understood from /r/personalfinance, you can probably get away with an initial offer of 5-10% of the billed price.

The "discounts" shown on my explanations of benefits are absurd. My current record is a 94% "discount" from list price for a particular test.
