I wish that was the case. If you sort the line items by cost, I would be surprised if labor was on top. Maybe for surgeries, but I doubt that.

My insurance got billed 6k for a chest ultra-sound. They paid 4k. Hospital still wanted around 2k, had to negotiate and pay a little over 1k at the end.

The line item for physician cost (billed separately) had 2 digits.

Do you really think current health care is giving accurate line items on your bill?

Wouldn't a bill with inaccurate line items amount to a form of fraud?
